lyrics

My heart got sold down the river
Yeah my heart got sold down the river
Black skin woman she made me shiver

I should have known she was a voodoo queen
I should have known she was some kind of voodoo queen
From the snake skin oil and the smell of kerosene

She read my future and it didn't look good
She read my future and it didn't look good
A man was killed in the neighbourhood

Horrible things she made me do
Yeah horrible things she made me do
Now my soul is hollow through and through

'Cause my heart got sold down the river
Yeah my heart got sold down the river
That black skin woman she made me shiver
