Underneath the moonlight a hound dog howls
deep in the shadows a black cat prowls
Spanish moths hanging from the sides of trees
pray for salvation baby down on your knees yeah

The sky's as black as a sinner's soul

have you ever felt a chill baby quite as cold
looking over your shoulder in a hollow night
come out of the shadows in the voodoo light

Long black pistol and a wicked knife
come to your senses and run for your life
flip a coin baby roll the dice
if you lose you're gonna pay the price yeah
The light is burnin' levee camp moan
have you ever felt darlin' so alone
Yeah the mist hangs heavy in the hollow night
out of the darnkess in the voodoo light

Black cat bones laying in the sand
I met the blues walking like a man
the wind is rising blowing through the trees
Like poison whiskey kill you by degrees...yeah
Deep in the shadows where nothing is sane
have you ever woke shaken from a bad bad dream? (I have)
yeah the river runs red through the hollow night
come out of the shadows in the voodoo light
