I got High John in my pocket   And mud in my shoes   Walked all the way from Mississippi   Just to spread the news      Don't care for idle conversation   I'm not your girl about town   But when it comes to make music   I run the voodoo down      And here in this quiet place I own   Worlds are born      The night of my conception   The star were fixed   Conjure woman told my mother   She's gonna run and twist      Don't have to worry 'bout her learning   She's gonna get around   And when it comes to traveling   She'll run the voodoo down      Here in this quiet place we own   We're born      Destiny is my deliverance   I walk this road alone   I take my pleasure in remembering   I'm just a rolling stone      And I don't mind some company   If you want to stay around   But when it comes to my loving   I run the voodoo down      And here in this quiet place I own   Worlds are born
