Ma Rainey — Lousiana Hoo Doo Blues

Текст песни: Lousiana Hoo Doo Blues

[Verse 1]
Going to Louisiana bottom to get me a hoodoo hand
Going to Louisiana bottom to get me a hoodoo hand
Gotta stop these women from takin' my man

[Verse 2]
Down in Algiers where hoodoos live in their den
Down in Algiers where the hoodoos live in their den
Their chief occupation is separatin' women from men

[Verse 3]
The hoodoo told me to get me a black cat bone
The hoodoo told me to get me a black cat bone
And shake it over their heads, they'll leave your man alone

[Verse 4]
Twenty years in the bottom, that ain't long to stay
Twenty years in the bottom, that ain't long to stay
If I can keep these tush hog women from takin' my man away

[Verse 5]
So I'm bound for New Orleans, down in goofer dust land
I'm bound for New Orleans, down in goofer dust land
Down where the hoodoo folks can fix it for you with your man
