Hoodoo Man Blues
Unraveling the Hoodoo Mystery: Colin James' Blues Revelation
Lyrics
Well, I wonder, what's the matter
Expressing curiosity or concern about a situation
Child you know the time
Addressing someone, emphasizing the significance of the moment
Well it seemed like an hour
Describing a period that felt prolonged or significant
Everything had changed
Noticing a drastic change in surroundings or circumstances
But I hold up my head
Remaining resilient and maintaining confidence
I'm trying to make you understand
Asserting an effort to make the listener comprehend
Everybody tells me
Referencing advice or comments from others
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man
Suggesting that someone has put a spell on a practitioner of hoodoo
Well now, I buzzed your bell this morning
Attempting to communicate with someone, possibly experiencing delays
Had your elevator run slow
Describing a slow response or movement
I buzzed your bell in, woman
Repeating an attempt to contact someone
Take me on the third floor
Requesting to be taken to a specific location
Well, I hold up my head
Maintaining self-confidence despite challenges
Trying to make you understand
Reiterating the effort to make the listener understand
Everybody they tell me
Referring to widespread information or gossip
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man
Emphasizing the belief that someone has hexed the hoodoo practitioner
Now I'm telling you this time baby
Issuing a warning or ultimatum
I'm not gonna tell you no more
Stating a decision not to repeat a message
Next time I tell you, I'm gonna let you go
Announcing a consequence for not heeding the warning
Now hold my hand
Seeking physical connection for mutual understanding
I'm trying to make you understand
Reiterating the effort to make the listener comprehend
Somebody's they tell me
Indicating that others are spreading information about the hex
Somebody hoodoo'd the hoodoo man
Reaffirming the belief that someone has put a spell on the hoodoo practitioner
