The blood red moon bode something wild

And there was born a voodoo child

Mothers fell down to their knees

And prayed that God deliver me

Lord save this voodoo child

Third month third day three A.M.

I danced into this world and said here I am

The Doctor tried to slap me but I stopped him in his tracks

I was born standin' up and talkin' back

Some people said I was a problem child

Mamma just laughed and said he's born to be wild

Daddy shook his head and said ain't it a shame

We got ourselves a son that nobody can tame

But then who knew

That it was voodoo

I fell from grace but I raised some cain

Soon everyone for miles come to know the name

Of the voodoo child and his wicked ways

They all said some day you'll pay

But then who knew

That it was voodoo

I got a black cat bone and a mojo mighty mite

I said who knew

That it was voodoo

Had me howlin' at the silvery moon every night

The blood red moon bode something wild

And there was born a voodoo child

Mothers fell down to their knees

And prayed that God deliver me

Lord won't you save this voodoo child

But then who knew

That it was voodoo

I got a black cat bone and a mojo mighty mite

I said who knew

That it was voodoo

Had me howlin' at the silvery moon every night

But then who knew

That it was voodoo

I got a black cat bone and a mojo mighty mite

I said who knew

That it was voodoo

Had me howlin' at the silvery moon every night

Howlin' at the silvery moon

Singin' a voodoo tune

Howlin' at the silvery mo
