I think Hoodoo surely works! In this song definitely!!

Yeah! You guys knocked it out of the park with this one, outstanding!

Man! Had to go back and listen to the scat again. Awesome!

Funny and scary all at once. It seems you hit the target you were aiming for.  

The lyric of this public domain song was written by Bessie Brown in 1924 (originally titled Hoodoo Blues).  We slightly tweaked a few lines and arranged it as an up tempo blues rock with a different melody.  Ms. Brown's songs are deserving of more attention.  She's a gem.

HOODOO BLUES 

I'm on the war path now, mean and evil’s my vow, 
Some woman stole my man, but I've got me a plan. 

Let me tell ya all bout it

Gonna sprinkle graveyard dust all around her door 
Gonna sprinkle graveyard dust all around her door 
Put a spider in her dumplings, make her crawl all over the floor
 
Goin' 'neath her window, gonna lay a black cat bone 
Goin' 'neath her window, gonna lay a black cat bone 
Burn a candle on her picture, she won't let my good man alone. 


Got myself some gris-gris, tote it up in a sack 
Got myself some gris-gris, tote it up in a sack 
Gonna keep on wearin' it till I get my good man back 

scat verse

I was born down in the bayou, I wear conjure in my shoes 
Born down in the bayou, I wear conjure in my shoes 
Gonna fix that woman, make her sing them hoodoo blues.

Hoodoo Woman
