Lyrics

Way down south
Where the mangroves grow
Deep in the swamp
Down in the Bayou
There's a little story
That's never been told
About a pretty widow
Who never grows old
And how she buried her soul
With her wedding ring
Traded it off
For that voodoo thing
She moves like the wind
Got a fire in her eyes
Well, she can bring down rain
From the clear blue sky
Make the sun go down
With a wave of her hand
Well, she can make a king
Of an ordinary man
She's gonna make you dance
She's gonna make you sing
When she gives you some
Of that voodoo thing
Oh-oh-oh, my voodoo thing
Like a heart held close
To the edge of a knife
One kiss from her lips
Turned my blood into ice
I tried to run
By the light of the moon
I said I'd 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
Oh-oh-oh, my voodoo thing
She'll put a spell on you
