Way down south where the mangos grow A deeper in the swamp down in the Bayou There's a little story that's a never been told I found a pretty widow who never grows old And how she buried her soul with a wedding ring Trading it off for that voodoo thing She moves like the wind got a fire in her eye Well she can bring down rain from the clear blue sky Make the sun go down with the wave of her hand Well she can make a king of an ordinary man She's going to make you dance, she's gonna make you sing
Well she'll give you some of that voodoo thing Oohh voodoo thing Like a heart held close to the edge of a knife One kiss from her lips turns my blood into ice I tried to run by the light of the moon I said I'll never be back, but I spoke too soon Well she made me dance and she made me scream Did she give me some of that voodoo thing? The voodoo thing Oohhh my voodoo thing She'll put a spell on you
