memphis minnie, aliás minnie lawlars, aliás kid douglas, aliás lizzie douglas, é uma das grandes vozes femininas dos azuis. hoje quase esquecida, gravou cerca de duzentas canções, sobretudo na década de trinta. gosto particularmente desta.

Hoodoo Lady, how do you do?

They tell me you take a boot and turn it to a brand new shoe 


But don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee 



Hoodoo Lady, you can turn water to wine 


I been wondering where have you been all this time 


I'm setting here, broke, and I ain't got a dime 


You ought to put something in these dukes of mine 


But don't put that thing on me 


'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee 



Hoodoo Lady, I want you to unlock my door 


So I can get in and get all my clothes 


But don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee 



Now, look-a here, Hoodoo Lady, I want you to treat me right 


Bring my man back home but don't let him stay all night 


And don't put that thing on me 


'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee 



Why, look-a here, Hoodoo Lady, I'm your friend 


When you leave this time, come back again

But don't put that thing on me

'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee
