Omar And The Howlers

Hoo Doo

Born in Mississippi in the dust of a cotton patch
Raised up by a rattlesnake and that's a natural fact
And now you know I'm full grown, got a monkey paw in my hand
I got a black spider ball in my pocket, I'm a Mississippi Hoo Doo ManPeople say I'm evil, they swear that it's the truth
Every time I try to move they say the devil's loose
They all talk about me, they don't understand
They don't know the power of a Mississippi Hoo Doo ManThey tried to burn the cornfield just to chase me down
When the smoke had lifted an empty cornfield's all they found
Tried so hard to catch me, plan after plan
They don't know I can't be caught, I'm a Mississippi Hoo Doo Man
