Magical gris gris and mojo bag
Ason rattle sacred tongue of dan
In the badji a sacred alter room
So begins the ritual on the dead man's tomb
Superstition where it's been said
Rituals to wake the dead, wake the dead
New Orleans voodoo
New Orleans voodoo
Giyon is said to mean bad luck
Sound of the ogan, the bell is struck
Rituals to wake the dead, wake the dead
On the cord tuned drum tanbou fey
The voo doo priest begins to play
The kwa kwa rattle keeps in beat
The nago dance in the summer heat
Superstition where it's been said
Rituals to wake the dead, wake the dead
