Take me to see the voodoo queen,
Let her put a spell on me,
A little bit of change will ease my pain,
Gonna set a young man free.
[Chorus:]
Cause I've been down through your hometown
And all across your distant land.
One things for sure, honey I'll be gone,
Tell my mother I miss her so.
Take me to France and watch me dance,
Let me drink that wine,
Spinning around a dark haired girl,
Having us a good ol' time.
[Chorus: repeat]
When you can the medicine man,
Will let a feather set me free,
Out on the range outrunning them trains,
You're never gonna see me leave
