Down in Sunflower County where I was born
Used to be a crazy woman
Used to walk bare footed down a gravel road
Singin' in an unknown tongue
One day I asked her Papa why she was crazy
The tears welled up in his eyes
He said, "the Devil's inside my poor baby
She be crazy 'til the day she dies
"You know she's been hoodooed
By the power of the voodoo
You know she's been hoodooed
By the power of the voodoo."
Said Fanny always was a peculiar child
Never could make her mind
She used to slip out and go walkin' in the woods late at night
Always came home cryin'
But then one night she came home laughin'
Talkin' out of her head
She said, "Now I ain't got to worry 'bout dyin' Papa
I been sleepin' in a Devil's bed
"You know she's been hoodooed
By the power of the voodoo
You know she's been hoodooed
By the power of the voodoo."
