Robert Johnson was at the crossroads at midnight
Baron Samedi met him on the foggy ground
The creepy count said: Mr. Johnson, I will make you famous
But for Chissakes put that cheap Sears-Roebuck guitar down

Now some folks say that I'm the Devil
Some others say that I'm the Voodoo King
In my silk top hat, long black coat, and dark glasses
I don't give a shit, but I'll teach you how to play and and sing

You'll get those juke joint jerks all stirred up
They'll shake their asses, and toss their country hooch on down
They'll lose their mind, submit to my dark powers
And do things which would send a harlot run screaming outa town

I got my walking stick topped with a phallus
Eye glasses with no lens and cotton up my nose
I've got hordes of mambo vixens in my palace
My wife, Maman Brigitte knows; sometimes she joins the orgie-porgy down below

Robert start to strum; folks will act possessed and dance lewdly
They'll make the beast with two backs, drink heavily and smoke
I can help them all with their pathetic romantic problems
They'll eat like filthy pigs and  gluttons, and look for stronger dope

And you? Like I said, I'll make you a famous blues man
With Miss So and So and Mrs. Such and Such
The women will all say: 'C'mon in my kitchen'
And get all hot and bothered by your touch

So Mr. Johnson, you hike across that yonder graveyard
Avoid the snakes and rats and bones and rock the cotton pickin' joint
In the end, some woman's husband will feed you poison
We'll soon meet again, do you understand and get my point?

I'm Baron Samedi, standing at the crossroads
Between this life and the boat across the river Styx
You humans are a lost cause and not worth saving
I'm Baron Samedi, and I'm a vulgar, classy son-of-a bitch

I got a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time
I am the LWA resurrection and the fright
I make sure the dead all rot, I'm called Papa Gede
I drink white rum, kick back, and party every god-damn night

Tout le monde, tout le monde, etc
