Henrietta

(One, two, one, two, three, four...)
Henrietta, baby whatcha do to me?
Henrietta, you say that you wanna leave,
You got me so shook up, I never ever wanna break free.
Henrietta, I say you look so fine,
Henrietta, will your love be mine?
You're always on the move, hangin' on another line.
CHORUS:
The day your love went away, I thought that you was gonna stay
But it was an omen, I tried and tried,
Caught up by all your lies!
Henrietta, why wontcha treat me right?
Henrietta, you say you'll love with all your might,
Well, love me baby, love me all through the night.
Whoa!
CHORUS
Henrietta, why wontcha treat me right?
Henrietta, you say you'll love with all your might,
Well, love me baby, love me all through the night.
Hoodoo Man
There's a thing creepin' in the woods,
Like an ill wind that blows no good,
Women and children begin to howl,
When the moon-dog is on the prowl.
CHORUS:
I'm a hoodoo-voodoo-magic man, got the devil by the horns,
His mischief in my hands. Ooh-woo-woo!
Ooh-woo-wooooooooooo!
I can make like a big ugly bear,
I can fly like a bird in the air,
You could look, but you could not see,
You better make a move 'cause you know it's me.
CHORUS:
Every night, when the moon gets high,
Come the children through the hoodoo sky,
All the women, they know my name,
'Cause I can fade away, treat 'em all the same.
