When the hoodoo comes, you'd better run, it don't miss nothing
When the hoodoo comes, when it does it makes no exception
When the hoodoo comes, you'd better run, for protection
When the hoodoo comes, when it does it makes no exception at all-

I travel far and wide with a message as I roam tonight
The guiding star delivered the warning, it lives in every heart
It stands at every door
Make sure the light is on if somebody's calling

When the hoodoo comes (etc).

I knew I had to share the secrets I have known
And I know that day is due, stand by the watchtower

When the hoodoo comes, you'd better run, it don't miss nothing
When the hoodoo comes, when it does it makes no exception
When the hoodoo comes you'd better run for protection
When the hoodoo comes, when it does, it makes no exception at all
No exception at all
