Lyrics

Well, I stand up next to a moun tain

and I chop it down with the edge of my hand.

Yeah.

Well, I stand up next to a moun tain

and I chop it down with the edge of my hand.

Well, I (E7)pick up all the piec es and make an is land,

might e ven raise a lit tle sand.

Yeah.

’Cause I’m a (C7)voo doo child,

Lord knows I’m a voo doo child, ba by.

I did n’t mean to take up all your sweet time,

I’ll give it right back to you one of these days.

I said I did n’t mean to take up all of your sweet time,

I’ll give it right back one of these days.

But if I don’t (E7)meet you no more in this world,

I’ll meet you in the next one and don’t be (E5)late,

don’t be late.

’Cause I’m a (C7)voo doo child, voo doo child,

Lord knows I’m a voo doo child.

Hey, hey, hey.
