Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya

(album: Gris-Gris - 1968)

They call me, Dr. John, The Night Tripper
Got my sizzling Gris-Gris in my hand
Day tripping up, Back down by you
I'm the last of the best
They call me the Gris-Gris man
Got many clients
Come from miles around
Running down my prescription
I got my medicine, to cure all your ills
I got remedies of every description

(Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya)
Hey Now
(Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya)
Hey Now

If you got love trouble, got a bad woman you can't control
I got just the thing for you
Something called control in the hearts get together drops.
If you work to hard and you need a little rest try my utilize rub
put some on my drop fix and jam, put some in your breakfast.

Try a little bit ah..
(Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya-Ya)

Known as the Night Tripper
Sazzle a little Gris-Gris in my hand
Day tripping up, Back down by you
I'm the last of the best
They call me the Gris-Gris man

So why war if your neighbors give you trouble put your fitness in the street
Seal a jewb in my whole car in the street
Try my Dragon Blood

Try a little black cat if your woman got another man

So easy does it as you put it in the palm of your hand
