Lyrics

Well, i stand up next to a mountain
And i chop it down with the edge of my hand

Yeah

Well, i stand up next to a mountain
And i chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, i pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand

Yeah

'Cause i'm a voodoo child
Lord knows i'm a voodoo child baby
I want to say one more last thing
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to ya one of these days

Hahaha

I said i didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back one of these days

Oh yeah

If i don't meet you no more in this world then uh
I'll meet ya on the next one
And don't be late
Don't be late

'Cause i'm a voodoo child voodoo child
Lord knows i'm a voodoo child

Hey hey hey

I'm a voodoo child baby
I don't take no for an answer

Question no
Yeah

    Lord knows Im a voodoo chile, baby.

    I said I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time,

    And if I don't meet you no more in this world
    Then ill, I'll meet you in the next one and don't be late, don't be late.
    Cause Im a voodoo chile, voodoo chile,
    Lord knows Im a voodoo chile, hey hey hey.
    Im a voodoo chile, baby.
