Voodoo Child Slight Return - Live at Berkeley Community Theatre by Jimi Hendrix Lyrics
[Spoken Intro: Jimi Hendrix]
We hope you all got some kind of feelin' about this thing
The next thing we're gonna play, the last thing
It goes like this
Playin' keep us alive
Determination and something
Thank you, and goodnight
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
I, uh, chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand
Hey
[Chorus]
Because I'm a voodoo child
Oh, Lord, knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 2]
We gotta keep on groovin'
Keep on groovin'
Keep on groovin'
To understand those sides of the sky
We gotta keep on grеasin'
I said: "Keep on greasin'"
You've got ya God and so do I
We gotta keep on lovin'
Keep on
Keep on lovin', yеah
Make love while I'm dyin', babe
Gotta stop smokin'
I mean, uh, cigarette smokin'
Or else I've got my love today
If I were make love to ya, baby
I wouldn't even have the breath
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back one of these days
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back one of these days
If I don't see you no more in this world
If I don't see you no more in this world
Lord, if I don't see you no more in this world
I'll meet you in the next one
And don't be late
Don't be late
[Chorus]
Because I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child
Oh, Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Outro]
[Spoken Outro: Jimi Hendrix]
Thank you very much, good night
Good night
We hope you all got some kind of feelin' about this thing
The next thing we're gonna play, the last thing
It goes like this
Playin' keep us alive
Determination and something
Thank you, and goodnight
