Voodoo Woman Blues (1:18) Charlie Huhn - BESH TOONS Got a mean woman No she can't be true Two timing woman Lord knows she can't be true Got tricky voodoo Sure work good on you Love that woman Lord - nothing I can do Love voodoo woman Nothing I can do So pray to the good Lord Don't let it happen to you |
