Em                    A
When shadows fill the sky 
Em              A
And evil's all around 
Em
Don't call a preacher 
G
A different creature 
C         D      Em
Bring the hoodoo down. 

Beside a sacred fire 
That's where he will be found. 
Somewhere in Haiti 
Baron Samedi 
Bring the hoodoo down. 
Bring the hoodoo down. 

A
Aah-aah-ahh  aah-aah-aah
G               B
It's a river of blood 
And a river of tears. 
A
Aah-aah-ahh  aah-aah-aah
G               B
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. 

Aah-aah-ahh  aah-aah-aah
It's a river of blood 
And a river of tears. 
Aah-aah-ahh  aah-aah-aah
It's a river of Love. 

We're gonna learn to dance 
And fall into a trance, 
And picking cotton 
Will be forgotten 
Bring the hoodoo down. 
Bring the hoodoo down. 
Bring the hoodoo down.
