The lyric of this public domain song was written by Bessie Brown in 1924 (originally titled Hoodoo Blues). We slightly tweaked a few lines and arranged it as an up tempo blues rock with a different melody. Ms. Brown's songs are deserving of more attention. She's a gem.

HOODOO BLUES
I'm on the war path now, mean and evil’s my vow, 
Some woman stole my man, but I've got me a plan.

Let me tell ya all bout it

Gonna sprinkle graveyard dust (all) around her door 
Gonna sprinkle graveyard dust all around her door 
Put a spider in her dumplins, make her crawl all over the floor

Goin' 'neath her window, gonna lay a black cat bone 
Goin' 'neath her window, gonna lay a black cat bone 
Burn a candle on her picture, she won't let my good man alone.

Got myself some gris-gris, tote it up in a sack 
Got myself some gris-gris, tote it up in a sack 
Gonna keep on wearin' it till I get my good man back

scat verse
​
I was born down in the bayou, I wear conjure in my shoes 
Born down in the bayou, I wear conjure in my shoes 
Gonna fix that woman, make her sing them hoodoo blues.
