The blood red moon bode something wild
and there was born a voodoo child
mothers fell down to their knees
and prayed that god deliver me
lord save this voodoo child
Third month third day three a.m.
i danced into this world and said here i am
the doctor tried to slap me but i stopped him in his tracks
i was born standin' up and talkin' back
some people said i was a problem child
mamma just laughed and said he's born to be wild
daddy shook his head and said ain't it a shame
we got ourselves a son that nobody can tame
But then who knew
that it was voodoo
i got a black cat bone and a mojo mighty mite
i said who knew
that it was voodoo
Had me howlin' at the silvery moon every night
Well i kissed the little girls and i made 'em cry
those that tried to cross me got the evil eye
always a loner but never alone
while all the other boys could do was bitch and moan
i fell from grace but i raised some cain
soon everyone for miles come to know the name
of the voodoo child and his wicked ways
they all said some day you'll pay
But then who knew
that it was voodoo
i got a black cat bone and a mojo mighty mite
i said who knew
that it was voodoo
Had me howlin' at the silvery moon every night
The blood red moon bode something wild
and there was born a voodoo child
mothers fell down to their knees
and prayed that god deliver me
lord won't you save this voodoo child
But then who knew
that it was voodoo
i got a black cat bone and a mojo mighty mite
i said who knew
that it was voodoo
Had me howlin' at the silvery moon every night
But then who knew
that it was voodoo
i got a black cat bone and a mojo mighty mite
i said who knew
that it was voodoo
Had me howlin' at the silvery moon every night
Howlin' at the silvery moon
Singin' a voodoo tune
Howlin' at the silvery moon every night
