That Bessie is some vengeful woman if you take her man. But she could make very good lyrics on that too!
And the three of you made a marvellous song. The vocals are rock solid, but that is a 'normal' fact.
And so is the band (but that's a normal fact too). I enjoyed it very much and can't say that enough.

Did Bessie sang herself this kind of song? Did she sang more of these Hoodoo songs?
Or did her new husband stayed long enough?
By the way, now I'm trying to make me some of that gris-gris! Looks like usable stuff...

Kind regards,

Hey, good luck with the gris gris. Let us know if you win the lotto smile

Bessie did a very slow version with a completely different melody and we could not find any other songs like this from her. The Hoodoo and Voodoo songs were somewhat popular in the 1920's.

We're all three glad you like the tune!
