When I was young
in the days I won't remember
Down the crossroads
where I walked the mile of truth
I think I struck a deal
with a man they called the mender
Keep playing voodoo blues
and drinking badwater booze
He won't hide it from you,
he won't peel it from you
He won't save it for you,
your soul is on the run
Boy you'll be a hell of a player
He said you'd rule the stage,
women and all the money too
All you gotta pay
is something you forget now
Keep drinking badwater
and playing voodoo blues.
