Voodoo Garden - Charlie Musselwhite

In my voodoo garden there’s a one eyed cat

There’s a classic cowboy in a concrete hat

Mask of the devil by the first-born son

You can tell he’s on the level by the way he drinks his rum

Relaxing in the shade, feeling most at ease

In a voodoo garden you can do just like you please

There’s a hole in the ozone, baby, it never ends

Loretta, she don’t care how much money she spends

When the ice man comes by with his saxophone

We’ll have him arrested for living alone

Me, I don’t worry 'bout the big freeze

In a voodoo garden you can do just like you please

Sweet Carrina, working at the bank

Took to the air in an oxygen tank

I don’t know how far she went out of her mind

She said, she was the only one left of her kind

Flying high in the sky, free as a breeze

In a voodoo garden, you can do just like you please

Well, the law caught up with Pazo, put him under the jail

All the vipers down on Haight Street had to forfeit the bail

You can’t pin anything on me he said, heading for the door

I never set foot in this life before

If you lose your money, man, don’t lose your keys

In a voodoo garden, you can do just like you please

Well, I beat the devil at his evil game

He had a lien on my soul, but I run him off his claim

All the bikers and the lifers are dodging every bust

People on the edge say, «In blues we trust»

You can pray to Jesus, fall down on your knees

In a voodoo garden, you can do just like you please
