| Hoodoo lady, how do you do?
|
| They tell me you take a boot and turn it to a brand new shoe
|
| But don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| 'Cause I’m going back to Tennessee
|
| Hoodoo lady, you can turn water to wine
|
| I been wondering where have you been all this time
|
| I’m setting here broke, and I ain’t got a dime
|
| You ought to put something in these dukes of mine
|
| But don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| 'Cause I’m going back to Tennessee
|
| Hoodoo lady, I want you to unlock my door
|
| So I can get in and get all my clothes
|
| But don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| 'Cause I’m going back to Tennessee
|
| Now look-a here, hoodoo lady, I want you to treat me right
|
| Bring my man back home but don’t let him stay all night
|
| And don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| 'Cause I’m going back to Tennessee
|
| Why look here, hoodoo lady, I’m your friend
|
| When you leave this time, come back again
|
| But don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| Don’t put that thing on me
|
| 'Cause I’m going back to Tennessee |
