Old women sit around in smokey rooms
Pulling on Stinking cigars. Lights turned low
The red ends glow like big bloodshot eyes.
They wink in and out.
Murmuring chants and singing in low oblique tones.
Your soul is in question your will directed.
Have a cure with your man's cheating ways
Obeah.
You been having a bad streak of luck. One thing then the next.
Obeah on you. Go see lady cross town. Bring money.Obeah
You strongly believe someone Put Hudu on You. You been sick
for some time now and the pills just wont do.Obeah
Somebody put bad eye on you too. Obeah
If you believe then all things are possible Not true? Obeah Chicken blood
and the root to suit your condition. Now sit still and listen to her( premonition)
Obeah.
Let the spirit have his way.Draw the cancer from your bones
But you have to give yourself to the spirits of the dead. Obeah
The Zombie walks around at night snatching souls from the sleeper.Leaving the empty husk as witness.
Sleep light my friend and keep. Keep your poultice near.Do not abandon fear.Obeah.
