The Pleasant Pagan
Be good,You Pleasant Pagan
Be nice,You Pleasing Peon
You were born of good stock
You were bred with goodness in the marrow of your bones
You were raised to bring Honor to your kith and kin
Do not disgrace them by taking up the magick of your birthland
The magick of your birthland is hoodoo
Oh you poor cradle holy child....
Yes,You want to take up the folkways magical of your ancestors
Hoodoo is there and it is calling out to you,it seems
You Choirboy who sings with your elders on sunday mornings...
the songs of zion,the praises of the most High...
How long can you dodge Hoodoo?
You did it with those apples,salt,and pepper many years ago.
What stops you now,you ladylover who longs for the same one who has
your heart in tow with her.
