Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

Chop it down with the edge of my hand

Well, I'm standin' next to a mountain

Chop it down with the edge of my hand

Pick up the pieces and make an island

Might even raise a little sand

[Verse 2]

'Cause I'm a voodoo child

Lord, knows I'm a voodoo child

I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time

Give it back to you one of these days

I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time

Give it back to you one of these days

If I don't meet you again in this world

Then I see you in the next one

Don't be late

[Verse 3]

I'm a voodoo child

Oh, no

I'm a voodoo child

I'm a voodoo child

I'm a voodoo child

No, no

I'm a voodoo child

'Cause I'm a voodoo child

No, no, I'm a voodoo child

I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child

[Verse 4]

Well, I'm standin' next to a mountain

Chop it down with the edge of my hand

Well, I'm standin' next to a mountain

Chop it down with the edge of my hand

Pick up the pieces and make an island

Might even raise a little sand

[Verse 5]

'Cause I'm a voodoo child

No, no

I'm a voodoo child

'Cause I'm a voodoo child

I'm a voodoo child

No, no

I'm a voodoo child

'Cause I'm a voodoo child

No, no, I'm a voodoo child

No, no, I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child

[Verse 6]

A voodoo child

No, no

I'm a voodoo child

No, no, I'm a voodoo child

I'm a voodoo child
