Lyrics Hoodoo Queen - Charlie Musselwhite

Hoodoo Queen performed by Charlie Musselwhite
From the album The Well

When the storm hit New Orleans
A plan was hatched in a sorcerer's dream
While black water rose he entertained dark thoughts
And came up with a plan, a hoodoo scheme

In a search for power he needs some bones
In the dead of night he creeps from home
And at the grave the full moon rose
He wants to steal the bones of Marie Laveau

Afraid of the dark he waited 'til dawn
But by then them bones was long gone
In the mud was a note lying there on the lawn
Said, "Too late, sucker, Dr. John done been here and gone."
Been here and gone
Been here and gone

Now Dr. John got the power, the power of Marie Laveau
