To Miss Grace King	A
	-
	-
Down in the old French quarter	B
Just out of Rampart street	C
I wend my way	D
At close of day	D
Unto the quaint retreat	C
Where lives the Voodoo Doctor	B
By some esteemed a sham	E
Yet I'll declare there's none elsewhere	F
So skilled as Doctor Sam	E
With the claws of a deviled crawfish	G
The juice of the prickly prune	H
And the quivering dew	I
From a yarb that grew	I
In the light of a midnight moon	H
	-
I never should have known him	J
But for the colored folk	K
That here obtain	L
And ne'er in vain	L
That wizard's art invoke	K
For when the Eye that's Evil	M
Would him and his'n damn	E
The negro's grief gets quick relief	N
Of Hoodoo Doctor Sam	E
With the caul of an alligator	B
The plume of an unborn loon	H
And the poison wrung	O
From a serpent's tongue	O
By the light of a midnight moon	H
	-
In all neurotic ailments	P
I hear that he excels	Q
And he insures	R
Immediate cures	R
Of weird uncanny spells	Q
The most unruly patient	S
Gets docile as a lamb	E
And is freed from ill by the potent skill	T
Of Hoodoo Doctor Sam	E
Feathers of strangled chickens	U
Moss from the dank lagoon	H
And plasters wet	V
With spider sweat	V
In the light of a midnight moon	H
	-
They say when nights are grewsome	E
And hours are oh so late	W
Old Sam steals out	X
And hunts about	X
For charms that hoodoos hate	W
That from the moaning river	B
And from the haunted glen	Y
He silently brings what eerie things	Z
Give peace to hoodooed men	Y
The tongue of a piebald 'possum	E
The tooth of a senile 'coon	Y
The buzzard's breath that smells of death	A2
And the film that lies	B2
On a lizard's eyes	B2
In the light of a midnight moon	Y
