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 (spoken: Boy, you better watch it 'cause she's tricky) 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 (spoken: Boy, she's tricky as she can be. Better watch her, too Why look-a 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
