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.
