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
