New Orleans Voodoo

Magical gris gris and mojo bag
Ason rattle sacred tongue of dan

In the badji a sacred alter room
So begins the ritual on the dead man's tomb

Superstition where it's been said
Rituals to wake the dead, wake the dead

New Orleans voo doo
New Orleans voo doo

Giyon is said to mean bad luck
Sound of the ogan, the bell is struck

Rituals to wake the dead, wake the dead

On the cord tuned drum tanbou fey
The voo doo priest begins to play
The kwa kwa rattle keeps in beat
The nago dance in the summer heat

Superstition where it's been said
Rituals to wake the dead, wake the dead

New Orleans voo doo
New Orleans voo doo
