Voodoo Thing Lyrics - Colin James

Way down south, where the mangroves grow 

Deep in the swamp down in the Bayou 

There's a little story that's never been told 

About a pretty widow who never grows old 

And how she buried her soul with her wedding ring 

Traded it off for that voodoo thing 

She moves like the wind got a fire in her eyes 

Well, she can bring down rain from the clear blue skies 

Make the sun go down with a wave of her hand 

Well, she can make a king of an ordinary man 

She's gonna make you dance, she's gonna make you sing 

When she gives you some of that voodoo thing 

Ooh my voodoo thing 

Like a heart held close to the edge of a knife 

One kiss from her lips turn my blood turn to ice 

I tried to run by the light of the moon 

I said I'll never be back, but I spoke too soon 

Well, she made me dance and she made me scream 

Did she give me some of that voodoo thing? 

The voodoo thing, ooh, my voodoo thing 

She'll put a spell on you
