I've Been Hoodoo'd - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
I'VE BEEN HOODOO'D. Copyright, 1894, by Spaulding & Gray. Words and Music by Gussie L. Davis. 
I've been hoodoo'd, I've been hoodoo'd, hoodoo'd, hoodoo'd, By a nigger voodoo I've been hoodoo'd, I've been hoodoo'd, floodoo'd by a big black coon. 
A coon for me had a great infatuation, he wanted me to marry, but he had no situation; As soon as I refused, why the coon he got wild. Says he, "I am bound for to hoodoo dis child." Went and got a rabbit foot and burned it with a frog, Down in the hollow of an old burnt log, Right on the road where I had to pass along. Ever since den my head's been wrong, My bones begin to ache, and my teeth begin to chatter, Went to a doctor And he couldn't tell the matter; Says he, 'You're a gone coon, yon're gone up the spout." He looked at my head, and my hair fell out; Nobody knows how funny I feel. Even the husk fell off my heel. 
Refrain. I've been hoodoo'd, I've been hoodoo'd, hoodoo'd, hoodoo'd, By a nigger voodoo I've been hoodoo'd, I've been hoodoo'd, Hoodoo'd by a big black coon. 
This same black coon had an awful disposition, he could do more tricks than Hermann, the magician; My daddy he went out for to kill this black moke, The coon only laughed, And he thought it a joke; (Jot all of the coons afraid to look him in the eye, Got lots of niggers that he's taught to fly; All the police for this coon they had to search; he robbed a coon one night at church; He grabbed up a chicken and it wouldn't even holler, Throw up his guffer And 'most anything would foller; It is very strange, but it ain't no lie, I hope in my heart that this coon will die, For I can't sleep, walk, talk, nor eat. Guess I am dead-my heart don't beat.-Refrain.
