You know, maybe she can help me, durn my hard, hard time. 

You know they tell me in Louisiana, there's hoodoos all over there 
You know they tell me in Louisiana, there's hoodoos all over there 
You know they'll do anything for the money, man, in the world, I

"Now, Miss Hoodoo Lady, please give me a hoodoo hand; 
"Now, Miss Hoodoo Lady, please give me a hoodoo hand; 
"I wanna hoodoo this woman of mine, I believe she's got another

"Now, Miss Hoodoo Lady, please give me a hoodoo hand; 
"Now, Miss Hoodoo Lady, please give me a hoodoo hand;
