The witchy wind is out tonight
Hear that graveyard moan?
All over town, people can't sleep
Can't stand to be alone
Soon they be comin' up to the door
Wantin' dope and women and drink
A little noise to cover they ears
Anything not to think
Mama was a voodoo child
You know she taught me well
If you lookin' to walk the mystery
I got stories to tell
I'm a crossroads man, longtime gone
With the full moon in my soul
Got the power of the second sight
To keep it in control
No man alive can do me wrong
And see the next sunrise
No man alive can touch me now
No matter how he tries
Yeah, mama was a voodoo child
You know she taught me well
If you lookin' to walk the mystery
I got stories to tell
You step down
In-to the night
You better walk just right
The man don't come down here
This is my black town
And for miles around
Walk softly, when I'm near
I'm the one who knows your fear
Yeah, mama was a voodoo child
You know she raised me well
I can sell you time in Heaven
Or send you straight to Hell
So what you want? What you need?
What's your pleasure tonight?
The Spider holds it in his hand
Remember: you treat him right
You walkin'
In his night.
