Down in the swamps
They're gathering tonight
Voodoo boats
In the pale moonlight
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Voice of the bayou
Voice of the bayou
Voodoo queen's a waitin'
Waitin' all alone
Waitin' on my man
To claim him on her throne
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Voice of the bayou
Voice of the bayou
Voodoo queen is tryin'
Tryin' for my man
Made herself a potion
Gonna get him if she can
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Voice of the bayou
Voice of the bayou
But I make myself a dart
And stick it full of pins
And when the moon is dark as blood
Her troubles will begin
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Um-a-pa palesu-va
Voice of the bayou
Voice of the bayou
