Hoodoo Voodoo Lady Lyrics - Shel Silverstein

Yeah hoodoo voodoo lady cast up your voodoo vision 

Let me know where did my baby go where did my lovin' baby go 

Hoodoo voodoo lady shake your black cat tooth and your mojo bone 

And bring my baby home bring my baby back home yeah 

I know she didn't go up to New York City 

She thinks that New York City is a little too pretty 

I know she didn't go to sunny California 

For she thinks that California is a little too phoney 

I don't think she went up to north Alaska 

She'd've told me cept I might forgot to ask her 

And I don't think she went to east St Louis 

But she might've gone to China for a little Chop Suey 

Wherever she is I'm gonna run right there with you just tell me where 

Hoodoo voodoo lady make me a doll that I can stick with pins 

So that I can win my baby back again 

(Yeah c'mon do somethin' weird and mystical...) 

[ guitar ] 

Yeah I don't think I'll find her in the Okefenokee 

Cause the Okefenokee is too wet and smoky 

And I don't think I'll find her up in Mississippi 

She may be crazy but she ain't that flippy 

And she might've seen her sister in Amarillo 

And she might've gone to Philly just to see another feller 

She might be drillin' oil in North Dakota 

Might have gone to Iceland for an icecream soda 

But I gotta get her back if I'm gonna get well so cast your spell 

Voodoo hoodoo lady mix me a potion hot bubbly and black 

That I can sprinkle on her crack and maybe bring my baby back 

(Hoodoo voodoo lady let me know where did that woman of mine go)
