Voodoo Woman
(Lyrics)
They call me the voodoo woman
And I know the reason why
They call me the voodoo woman
And I know the reason why
Lord if I raise my name
You know the sky begin to cry
They call me the voodoo woman
I look through water and spied by land
They call me the voodoo woman
I look through water and spied by land
I tell all you men if your woman got another man
I got a rabbit foot in my pocket, a toad frog in my shoes
A craw fish on my shoulder, lookin' dead at you
I got dust from a rattlesnake, I got a black spider bone
If that don't do it baby, you'd better leave it all alone
They call me the voodoo woman
And I know the reason why
Lord if I raise my name
You know the sky begin to cry
I got a rabbit foot in my pocket, a toad frog in my shoes
A craw fish on my shoulder, lookin' dead at you
I got dust from a rattlesnake, I got a black spider bone
If that don't do it baby, you'd better leave it all alone
They call me the voodoo woman
And I know the reason why
They call me the voodoo woman
And I know the reason why
Lord if I raise my name
You know the sky begin to cry
Lord if I raise my name
You know the sky begin to cry
Lord if I raise my name
You know the sky begin to cry
Lord if I raise my name
You know the sky begin to cry

![Rose, Rose I Love You (玫瑰玫瑰我愛你): Yao Lee 1940
Rose, Rose I Love You
Méigui méigui wǒ ài nǐ
玫瑰玫瑰我愛你
Rose, Rose, I Love You is the standard English title of the 1940 Chinese popular song Méigui méigui wǒ ài nǐ (玫瑰玫瑰我愛你), first recorded by Yao Lee (姚莉). An English-language version whose lyrics have little in common with the original Mandarin was first recorded by Frankie Laine in 1951. It remains the only major popular music chart hit in the United States written by a Chinese composer.[citation needed]
The song is also known under the titles Shanghai Rose and China Rose.
Also used in the Peter Greenaway movie, The Pillow Book, 1996
