Run The VooDoo Down Songtext / Lyric

I got High John in my pocket

And mud in my shoes

Walked all the way from Mississippi

Just to spread the news



Don't care for idle conversation

I'm not your girl about town

But when it comes to make music

I run the voodoo down



And here in this quiet place I own

Worlds are born



The night of my conception

The star were fixed

Conjure woman told my mother

She's gonna run and twist






Don't have to worry 'bout her learning

She's gonna get around

And when it comes to traveling

She'll run the voodoo down



Here in this quiet place we own

We're born



Destiny is my deliverance

I walk this road alone

I take my pleasure in remembering

I'm just a rolling stone



And I don't mind some company

If you want to stay around

But when it comes to my loving

I run the voodoo down



And here in this quiet place I own

Worlds are born
