Ohh they call me the voodoo woman And I know the reason why Ohh they call me the voodoo woman Ohh and I know-o the reason why Ohh, if I raise up my hands now Don’t you know the sky begins to cry, darlin’ ohh now!
Ohh they call me the voodoo woman Cause I look through water and I spot dry land Ohh they call me the voodoo woman I look through water and I spot dry land And I’m gonna tell all you men out there If your woman’s got another man Honey you better hope she doesn’t!
Cause, gotta rabbit foot in my pocket A toad frog in my shoes, a crawdaddy on my shoulder Looking dead at you I got dust from a rattlesnake And a black spider bone If that don’t do it baby You better leave this girl alone
They call me the voodoo woman And I know the reason why Lord if I raise my hand Ohh I know the sky gonna come down with rain! Lord you better hope not, come on now! (Solo-break)

I am an old woman named after my mother My old man is another child that's grown old If dreams were thunder lightning was desire This old house would have burnt down, oh, a long time ago
Chorus: Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery Make me a poster of an old rodeo Just give me one thing, Lord, I can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl, oh, I had me a cowboy He wasn't much to look at, just a free rambling man But that was a long time and no matter how I try Those years just flow by like a broken down dam
Repeat Chorus
There's flies in the kitchen I can hear all their buzzing I ain't done nothing since I woke up today How the hell can a person go to work in the morning Come home in the evening and have nothing to say
Repeat Chorus
Believing in this living is a hard road to hold Oh, believing in this living, oh, is, oh, it's so hard Oh, this living, oh, it's so hard To believe in this living, hard way to go To believe in this living is just a hard, oh, so hard way to go

Hey where have you been hiding In a land far away Oh I can't stay away But you're wrapped in the arms of another
All my life I've been searching for someone Someone who's true Someone just like you But I'm lost looking in the haze I can't make it past this stage While you're wrapped in the arms of another, another
Oh it tears me up inside And I know in my heart That you were meant for me And if we're meant to be then it will be If we're meant to be then it will be
Hey where have you been hiding You're so beautiful and free Oh why can't our love be I guess it's cause you're still Wrapped in the arms of another
Oh it tears me up inside cause i know in my heart That you were meant for me And if we're meant to be then it will be If we're meant to be then it will be
When I was a little girl, I felt so alone Quiet country house that I had to call home Living with a couple of folks, rich millionaires Sat on their money; Lord, it seems they didn't care
Finally we moved to our own place where I can walk around with a smile on my face, and I knew in order to make a stand I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there Oh, I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there
Went to school in the big city I looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty They told me and teached me to live by their rules So I wouldn't be nobody's fool
I found out, not too long Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song I knew in order to make a stand I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there Oh, I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there
Oh, yes, now
I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there Oh, I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there
Then I joined the college ranks There they said they'd teach me how to think They gave me books to read and papers to write They didn't know that this girl's come to fight
I found out after awhile reading them books was making me lose my smile I knew in order not to conceal I had to play music and express what I feel
I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there Oh, I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there
Oh, move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there Oh, I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there
When I wake up in the garden Peaceful slumber wakes my eyes The sun and moon are always present There are no more crying people around
Love fills all up inside me Filling my heart with wishful dreams No more sorrow fills my canvas Along this lonely sea
Ships fall off of the horizon Bringing love, peace, and joy No fire can ever harm us Only music fills the air
Silver turquoise teardrops drip down Into a window of your soul Touching your emotions with sorrow Of a thousand years of wisdom sold
Love fills all up inside me Filling my heart with wishful dreams No more sorrow fills my canvas Along this lonely sea
Silver turquoise teardrops drip down Into a window of your soul Touching your emotions with sorrow Of a thousand years of wisdom sold Of a thousand years of wisdom sold
When I wake up in the garden Peaceful slumber wakes my eyes

Been sitting around here baby thinking about our last long talk Been sitting here at this table at your favorite restaurant Been hoping I could meet you here so that I could make this perfectly clear That all I do is think about you since you went and left me on my own
I'm so alone, ohhhh I'm so lonely baby and I need to say that I know I was wrong, ohhhh and I'm asking you to come back home Don't want to be here alone
Your sweet body baby, tears are streaming down my face, yeah go on and make your mind up-your mind up I ain't got no where to be right now, baby But loving you's a long, long way from here and all I ask of you my dear Is maybe you would reconsider all the love you've missed since you've been gone
[Chorus:] I'm so alone, ohhh I'm so lonely baby, and I need to say that I know I was wrong, I was so wrong And I'm asking you to come back home, don't want to be here alone
I know I was the fist to say good-bye, I was a fool baby Look at these tears in my eyes
And if loving you's a long, long way from here, then all I ask of you my dear Is maybe you would reconsider all the love you've missed since you've been gone
I wanna feel, feel the love that music brings And I wanna be a piece of life in all livin' things I know what's in my heart and my soul tells me to sing I'm gonna be thankful for this feeling that music brings Oh, it brings
Now I never thought selfishness could tear such a hole And I never realised how we could be one and still all alone I'm gonna get myself up and know I'm gonna get up and sing I'm gonna be thankful for this feeling that music brings Oh, it brings
Now I'm so thankful I've heard a voice deep inside Saying hallelujah and let music be your guide
Now I never thought I could feel a sadness that could bring me so down And I never thought there'd be a time where my heart had no song I'm gonna get myself up and know I'm gonna get up and sing I'm gonna be thankful for this feeling that music brings Oh, it brings
And I'm so grateful I've heard a voice deep inside Singing hallelujah, oh there's no more need to cry
So I'm gonna pick myself up, up of the ground I'm gonna get up and sing, I'm gonna sing a joyous song And I'm gonna sing hallelujah for this love I feel inside I'm gonna sing hallelujah let music be your guide Oh, your guide
I'm gonna sing hallelujah, oh I'm gonna sing Hallelujah, for this feeling that music brings Oh I've gotta sing now Oh I'm gonna sing a joyous song Oh yes, I know that I'm thankful
I've been wrong, wrong for so long Living life like this, I just can't go on Without a helping hand I just can't seem to find my way So I'll keep waiting, waiting for my better days. Better Days
Now I said a prayer last night when my day was through that I could live my life the way the Lord would want me to 'cause without a helping hand I just can't seem to find my way So I'll keep waiting, waiting for my better days. Better Days
Tell me I have a home just as long as you have yours Cause there's a pain in my heart Oh that I've just got to cure Please, please baby won't you take me in There's been too many times I needed to find a true friend Say you'll always, always tell the truth to me Cause there's been too many times that I've been lied to and deceived and somehow I got lost, and now I can't find my way Oh I guess I'll keep waiting, waiting for my better days Better Days
Tell me I have a home just as long as you have yours Cause there's a pain in my heart Oh that I've just got to cure and somehow I got lost, and now I can't find my way Oh I guess I'll keep waiting. waiting for my better days Better Days
