Hoodoo Women-Johnny Temple

Well, I went out on the mountain, looked over in Jerusalem
Well, I went out on the mountain, looked over in Jerusalem
Well, I seed them hoodoo women, whoo-Lord, makin' up their low-down plans

Well, I'm goin' to Newport, just to see Aunt Caroline Dye
Well, I'm goin' to Newport, just to see Aunt Caroline Dye
She's a fortune-teller, whoo-Lord, she sure don't tell no lie

And she told my fortune, as I walked through her door
And she told my fortune, as I walked through her door
Said, "I'm sorry for you, buddy, whoo-Lord, your woman don't want you no more."

Well, I turned around, said, "I believe I'll go downtown."
Well, I turned around, said, "I believe I'll go downtown,
To Chicago River, whoo-Lord, and jump overboard and drown."

The hoodoo said, 'Son, please don't act no clown."
The hoodoo said, 'Son, please don't act no clown.
Because it's a many more women, whoo-Lord, lyin' 'round in this no-good town."

A hoodoo is all right, in their low-down plans
The hoodoo is all right, in their low-down plans
But they will take your woman, whoo-Lord, and put her with another man
