Lyrics

I'm gonna give you forty days to get back
I'm gonna call up the gypsy woman on my telephone
I'm gonna tell the worldwide voodoo
That'll be the very thing that I do, do
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
Yeah, forty days (forty days), forty days (forty days)
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days (in forty days)
I'm gonna tell the worldwide voodoo
That will be the very thing that I do, do
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
Well, I was talking to the judge in private early this morning
When the sheriff came along and took me without any warning
He said, "I'm setting the charge up, again' ya
That'll be the very thing that'll hang ya
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days"
Yeah, In forty days (forty days), forty days (forty days)
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days (yeah, forty days)
I'm gonna tell the worldwide voodoo
That'll be the very thing that I do, do
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home In forty days
Well, I was talking to the judge in private early this morning
The sheriff came along and then took me without any warning
He said, "I'm setting the charge up again' ya
But that'll be the very thing that'll hang ya
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days"
In forty days (forty days), yeah, forty days (forty days)
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days (yeah, forty days)
I'm gonna tell the worldwide voodoo
That will be the very thing that I do, do
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days, yeah
