Voodoo Man -

He was a nice young sailor lad, as green as green could be

When he first joined our crew for a life of piracy

When a storm nearly capsized us, he was thrown from the ship

Stranded on Hispaniola, right there on the western tip

When the crew next saw him they could not believe their eyes

There was little left of the young man that one could recognize

His hair was long a braided, and he looked ready for war

But he smiled and said «Hello mates.

I’m your new Bokor

Now he wears more tattoos than clothes

With a ring on every finger and bone in his nose

When he starts his chanting we don’t always understand

But we always listen to him, cause he’s our voodoo man

The captain said «Now listen boys, I think we should turn back

There’s a storm a brewing and that beast is building fast.»

The bokur said «Just wait a minute and Captain keep your course»

And he went back to his cabin but the storm it just got worse

We heard howls, and moans, and a bang, and a crash

We saw thick black smoke and a fiery flash

We could smell the lighting and we just stared at his door

And when we started to relax, it started up once more

He rushed out and said «We'll need every inch of sail.»

And a swath of clear blue sky split the monstrous gale

The wind filed every sail and tightened every line

As we passed we saw the storm crashed back in behind

Now he wears more tattoos than clothes

With a ring on every finger and bone in his nose

When he starts his chanting we don’t always understand

But we always listen to him, cause he’s our voodoo man

While hunting down a merchant ship around the rocky shore

We came around the island to a massive Man o' War

The captain said «Now listen boys.

We’re about to meet our doom.»

And the bokur shouted «Never fear»

And he ran down to his room

We heard howls, and moans, and a bang, and a crash

We saw thick black smoke and a fiery flash

We could smell the lighting and we just stared at his door

And when we started to relax, it started up once more

«FIRE TWO SHOTS» he shouted and they went off right on cue

Both shots found their target and their powder hold it blew

The Man o' War bust into flames and it began to pitch

And we stole enough from her to make sure we were rich

He still wears more tattoos than clothes

With a ring on every finger and bone in his nose

When he starts his chanting we don’t try to understand

But we always listen to him, cause he’s our voodoo man

We always listen to him, cause he’s our voodoo man

We always listen to him, cause he’s our voodoo man
