Lyrics
My baby left me for another man
High and dry without a leg to stand
Well she took my guitar and stole my Cadillac too
Well she hocked my gold record
And rolled all my smoke
I'm so busted this ain't no joke
But she's my mojo mamma
I'm gonna have to bring her on home.
I called my Witch Doctor
My priest on the phone
I even rang the devil
and Christ on his thrown
I tried every potion, spell and charm
Pulled out my old Saint Chris
and my voodoo doll
My John the Conqueror
and my crystal ball
Well she's my Cajun queen
I'm gonna have to bring her on home
Last night I wondered what have I done wrong?
I tried every kind of magic but she's still not home.
I prayed for an answer as I cried myself to sleep.
A Gypsy woman came to me in my
dream.
She said you can't see it but your voodoo has cast a spell but you need one more thing
as far as I can tell
The Black cat bone has the
strongest magic in the land and when I woke
that bone was in my hand.
Pulled out my Black Cat Bone
called her on the phone
I begged, I screamed, I cried and I moaned
I said I'll do better baby I can't live alone
She said, "OK baby." with a sexy moan
I can't wait till were all alone
Just you and me baby and your Black Cat Bone
Oh Yeah
Just You and me baby and your Black Cat Bone
