Lyrics

Hoodoo Operator

[Verse 1]

Oh, I seen him walking on down that road

He got a broken push cart with a heavy load

Oh, Lord have mercy upon my wicked soul

Ah, he looked right at me with his eyes of coal

[Chorus]

It's the hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

[Verse 2]

Ah, he'll sell you liquids to cure that whooping cough

And fine liniments at a poor man's cost

Ah, but when your time is up, boy, and you feel that chill

He will come softly knocking to collect his bill

[Chorus]

It's the hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Operate

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

Oh, I seen him walking on down that road

He got a broken white man with a heavy load

Oh, Lord have mercy upon my foolish soul

It is so cold and dark behind these eyes of coal

[Chorus]

It's the hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Hoodoo operator

Operate

[Interlude]
