Hoodoo Man Blues

Lord, I wonder what's has got the matter
All the time, it's really changed
It seems like in the midnight hour
Everything rearranged

But I hold up my hand
I'm tryin' t'make her understand
You know, everyone now, they tell me
That somebody done hoodooed the hoodoo man

Now, I'm goin' down to Louisiana
An' get me a mojo hand
My little woman
Done quit me for some other man

But I hold up my hand
Tryin' to make her understand
You know, everybody they tells me
That somebody done hoodooed the hoodoo man

Now I buzzed your bell early this morning
You had your elevator running slow
I buzzed your bell, little woman
To take me up the old chateau

But I hold up my hand
Trying make you understand
You know, everyone now, they tell me
Somebody hoodooed the hoodoo man

I know I dodged your pa
I can dodge your ma
But I'm going to New York City, baby
To dodge the Jersey Law

But I hold up my hand
Trying make her understand
You know, everybody now, they tell me
Somebody done hoodooed the hoodoo man

That's hard to do
