Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Taylor Koko’s song “Voodoo Woman” is an ode to a powerful, mystical figure known as the voodoo woman. The song portrays the woman as someone who has the ability to control the elements with a mere utterance of her name. The lyrics suggest that she is revered and feared by those around her, and has gained a reputation for being a force to be reckoned with.
The voodoo woman is seen as being all-knowing and all-seeing, as she has the ability to look through water and spy on the land. She warns men that if their woman is seeing another man, they will surely be caught by her. She is also described as carrying various items on her person that are thought to have magical properties such as a rabbit foot, a toad frog, and dust from a rattlesnake.
Overall, “Voodoo Woman” paints a vivid picture of a woman who is both respected and feared for her powerful mystical abilities. The song highlights the power that can come from these beliefs, and how it can impact those who come into contact with individuals who have a strong belief in them.

I got a chance to meet her as 3 year old and then I grew up and also had the pleasure of taking care of her as nurse at a hospital. She was a lovely person and clearly a legend, Rest In Peace Queen 👑

Blues is my life. It's a true feeling that comes from the heart, not something that just comes out of my mouth. Blues is what I love, and blues is what I always do. ~ Koko Taylor.

Absolutely devastating. Was fortnate to see her live twice. In her 70s, Ms. Tayor transformed into a beast and torn a hole in the fabric of time space. It was a profoundly deep spiritual experience.
