Lyrics Memphis Minnie

Memphis Minnie

Hoodoo Lady

Hoodoo lady, how do you do?

They tell me you take a boot and turn it to a brand new

shoe

But don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Hoodoo lady, you can turn water to wine

I been wondering where have you been all this time

I'm setting here, broke, and I ain't got a dime

You ought to put something in these dukes of mine

But don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Hoodoo lady, I want you to unlock my door

So I can get in and get all my clothes

But don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Now look-a here, hoodoo lady, I want you to treat me

right

Bring my man back home but don't let him stay all night

And don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Why look-a here, hoodoo lady, I'm your friend

When you leave this time, come back again

But don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

Don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee
