She blessed all dirty water
On a stormy full moon night
She walked through sand and fire
Never caught in a fight

He got that rattlesnake fever
Red dust on his boots
Demons and fallen angels
Got the black spider blues

Mama was a hoodoo woman
Papa was a hoodoo man
Mama was a hoodoo woman
Papa, was a hoodoo man

She's drivin' hard that Chevy trail
Burnin' on both ends
She rocks the town of New Orleans
With her gypsy blend

A mean shoot-down in Ed's Saloon
Spirits join the sky
The undertaker said, "I'll never forget
The day, the whole town cried"

Mama was a hoodoo woman
Papa was a hoodoo man
Mama was a hoodoo woman
Papa, was a hoodoo man

A mean shoot-down in Ed's Saloon
Spirits join the sky
The undertaker said, "I'll never forget
The day, the whole town cried"

Mama was a hoodoo woman
Papa was a hoodoo man
Mama was a hoodoo woman
Papa, was a hoodoo man

Mama was a hoodoo woman
Papa was a hoodoo man
Mama was a crazy woman
Papa, was a hoodoo man
