Somebody Tryin’ to Hoodoo Me

I seen Marie by the railroad tracks Trying to burn a candle behind my back Create a big confusion Whole lots of illusion Try to keep me wondering just where I'm at I think somebody's tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Burn the candle every night and day Ever since I gone and slipped away Trying to gain me back in some ugly kinda way I don't know what else I can say Except somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me She take a dead rabbit and she burn the frog Stuff them down in the holler of a handy log Things got heavy I had to roll across Three days I was traveling, and my eyes were getting crossed Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Standing up on the levee all night Burning black candles, and she never burn white Got a whole lotta hatred in her heart, and you know that ain't right That I'm the one to suffer for things not going right I think somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
