Lyrics

Well I went down Talk to my shaman To ask for my Mary's hand He said there's one thing That you must do To prove you'll be a good married man Gotta take Suzie To the middle of the forest You gotta stay all night long And when you come back You still love Mary You can have yo baby's hand So I traveled to see my sweetheart Her soul so pure and true I said darling, you know I love you But there's something that I gotta do Gotta take Suzie To the middle of the forest I gotta stay all night long And when I come back, from the middle of the forest Shaman gon' let you be mine I went to go find ole Mary Folks said she hadn't been back home Since she fell for, little Suzie They went up the woods, they ain't never coming down She had to take Suzie to the middle of the forest Had to stay all night long She went up, to never come down Tricky shaman, I understand now
