Well, I'm standing next to a mountain,
chop it down with the edge of my hand
Pick up all the pieces, make an island,
might even raise a little sand
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile,
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you one of these days
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you the rest of my days
I won't see you again in this world,
see you in the next one Don't be late, don't be late
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile yeah,
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
chop it down with the edge of my hand
