Hodoo Lady

Hoodoo lady, how do you do?
 They tell me you take a boot and turn it to a brand new shoe
 But don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee
 
Hoodoo lady, you can turn water to wine
 I been wondering where have you been all this time
 I'm setting here, broke, and I ain't got a dime
 You ought to put something in these dukes of mine
 But don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee
 
(spoken: Boy, you better watch it 'cause she's tricky)
 
Hoodoo lady, I want you to unlock my door
 So I can get in and get all my clothes
 But don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee
 
Now look-a here, hoodoo lady, I want you to treat me right
 Bring my man back home but don't let him stay all night
 And don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee
 
(spoken: Boy, she's tricky as she can be. Better watch her, too
 
Why look-a here, hoodoo lady, I'm your friend
 When you leave this time, come back again
 But don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 Don't put that thing on me
 'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee
