When shadows fill the sky And evil's all around Don't call a preacher A different creature Bring the hoodoo down. Beside a sacred fire That's where he will be found. Somewhere in Haiti Baron Samedi Bring the hoodoo down. It's a river of blood And a river of tears. It's a river of Love. I know you'll die to see That zombie jamboree. The dead will tango Until the mambo Bring the hoodoo down. We're gonna learn to dance And fall into a trance, And picking cotton Will be forgotten Bring the hoodoo down.
