Voodoo Chile By Jimi Hendrix
Well, Im a voodoo chile
Lord Im a voodoo chile
Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out lord, the gypsy was right!
And I seen her fell down right dead
(have mercy)
Well, mountain lions found me there waitin
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(its the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witchs ring
Hey!
And he said fly on, fly on
Because Im a voodoo chile, baby, voodoo chile
Hey!
Well, I make love to you,
And lord knows youll feel no pain
Say, I make love to you in your sleep,
And lord knows you felt no pain
(have mercy)
cause Im a million miles away
And at the same time Im right here in your picture frame
(yeah! what did I say now)
cause Im a voodoo chile
Lord knows Im a voodoo chile
Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as jupiters sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as jupiters sulphur mines
(way down by the methabe sea, yeah)
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud,
You think you were losing your mind, hmmm…
Well I float in liquid gardens
And arizona new red sand
(yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in arizona red sand
Well, I taste the honey from a flower named blue,
Way down in california
And the n new york drowns as we hold hands
cause Im a voodoo chile
Lord knows Im a voodoo chile
Yeah!
Yeah:
That’s right Jimmy baby. Born on November 27 you sure would be singing about being a Voodoo chile alright. Sagitarians are probably the world’s greatest lovers for all the reasons you sang in that wonderful sexy song. You also plaid the guitar like no one else on earth.
Your passion showed in your clothes, your body and your hair.
The Voodoo that runs in your veins and feeds your soul also nourishes me. I am so thankful to be a Voodoo or Vaudou chile too. We’ve been shun but the world would not be without us. It is in its purest and truest form the essence of nature and purity.
Cassandra Wilson took up your theme later on and sang about how she was Voodoo’d when someone stole her heart and broke it. But she did not regret the thrill and the ecstacy of the feeling of love and purity.
I love you for being proud of your heritage and I thank you for blowing it on stage.
Best. May your soul rest in peace Bro.
thank you for post
