Somebody Tryin’ to Hoodoo Me

[Verse 1]
I seen Marie by the railroad tracks
Trying to burn a candle behind my back
Create a big confusion
Whole lots of illusion
Try to keep me wondering just where I'm at

[Chorus]
I think somebody's tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the candle every night and day
Ever since I gone and slipped away
Trying to gain me back in some ugly kinda way
I don't know what else I can say

Except somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me

[Verse 2]
She take a dead rabbit, and she burn the frog
Stuff them down in the holler of a handy log
Things got heavy, I had to roll across
Three days I was traveling, and my eyes were getting crossed

[Chorus]
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me

[Pre-Chorus]
Standing up on the levee all night
Burning black candles, and she never burn white
Got a whole lot of hatred in her heart, and you know that ain't right
That I'm the one to suffer for things not going right

[Chorus]
I think somebody's tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
Somebody tryin' to Hoodoo me
