Obeah Woman Lyrics - Nina Simone

Tony McKay 

Exuma ... You hear 

We gotta take our time 

Gettin' this one started 

Hey mamma soul mamma soul papa 

Hey soul body soul body soul body 

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 

Hey yah gonna take my time 

Gettin' this one togheter 

Gonna take my time 

Gettin' this one togheter 

Gotta go home now 

Gotta go home yea 

You know about the holy roller church? 

Ain't that were it started? 

Ha Ha I know 

We've outgrown it now 

And I cry that I think that I can't do 

I like money yah 

I like fine clothes 

I like all of it 

But I know where my roots are 

You hear me

Sometimes my daughter says 

"Mamma I don't understand them people" 

I don't either, but I'm fond of 'em 

And I like it 

Say hey hey 

Need your help, hey hey 

Cool down now, hey hey 

Obeah woman 

Yes, I'm the Obeah woman 

Do you know what one is? 

Ha do you know what an Obeah woman is? 

I'm the Obeah woman from beneath the sea 

To get to satan you gotta pass through me 

'Cause I know the angels name by name 

I can eat thunder and drink the rain 

Been through enough 

Yeah they call me Nita and Pices too 

There ain't nothing that I can't do 

If I choose to, if you let me 

Photos 

Ha I'm the Obeah woman, above pain 

I can eat thunder and drink the rain 

I kiss the moon and hug the sun 

And call the spirits and make 'em run 

You hear me? 

You hear me? 

'Cause I ain't praying, never was 

Just waiting for my time 

Waiting for to die 

Hackle and patience 

Hackle and patience oh yeah 

Obeah now 

Obeah Obeah now 

I'm the Obeah woman from beneath the sea 

To get to satan baby you gotta pass through me 

I know the angels name by name 

I can eat thunder and drink the rain 

How you think I lasted this long? 

Alright, alright 

I kiss the moon and hug the sun 

O yeah oh well oh well 

You people from the islands 

Know about the Obeah woman 

I did't put the name on myself 

And I don't like it 

Sometimes, but the weight is too heavy 

The weight is too heavy 

Let' finish it
