Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Then, I'll pick up all the pieces and make an island
Maybe now raise a little sand
Oh yeah
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows, I'm a voodoo child

I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days

I don't meet you no more on this world
I'll meet you on the next one. Don't be late!
Don't be late, 'cause I'm a voodoo child!
Lord knows, I'm a voodoo child
