The Hoodooin’ of Miss Fannie Deberry

Lyrics

[Intro] Fannie [Verse 1] Down in Sunflower County where I was born There used to be a crazy woman Used to walk bare footed down a gravel road Singin' in an unknown tongue One day I asked her papa why she was crazy And the tears welled up in his eyes He said, "The Devil's inside my poor baby She'll be crazy 'til the day she dies [Chorus] Don't you know she's been hoodooed By the power of the voodoo? And you know she's been hoodooed By the power of the voodoo [Verse 2] Said Fannie always was a peculiar child And never could make her mind She used to slip out and go walkin' in the woods late at night And she always came home cryin' But then one night she came home laughin' Talkin' outta her head She said, "Now I ain't got to worry 'bout dyin', Papa I been sleepin' in a devil's bed" [Chorus] Don't you know she's been hoodooed By the power of the voodoo? You know she's been hoodooed By the power of the voodoo [Bridge] Hoodoo woman (Fannie) pickin' up Qwewee Hoodoo woman (Fannie) pickin' up Qwewee [Verse 3] Said Fanny's mama was a Voodoo Queen Died when ol' Fanny was born He remembered her very last words to him She said, "I'm goin', honey, take care of Fanny 'til the Devil comes" So if you see her buried down in a graveyard Diggin' in a grave for foofoo You know she's gonna hoodoo somebody And if you cross her, she might hoodoo you [Chorus] 'Cause you know she's been hoodooed By the power of the voodoo? You know she's been hoodooed By the power of the voodoo [Outro] Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman She's gonna hurt you Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman She's gonna hurt you Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman (Fannie) She's gonna hurt you Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman (Hoodoo woman, Fannie) She's gonna hurt you (Pickin' up a Qwewee) Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman (Hoodoo woman, Fannie) She's gonna hurt you (Pickin' up a Qwewee) Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman (Hoodoo woman, Fannie) She's gonna hurt you (Pickin' up a Qwewee) Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman (Hoodoo woman, Fannie) She's gonna hurt you (Pickin' up a Qwewee) Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman (Hoodoo woman, Fannie) She's gonna hurt you (Pickin' up a Qwewee) Don't be messin' with a hoodoo woman (Hoodoo woman, Fannie) She's gonna hurt you (Pickin' up a Qwewee)
