Bob Wire: Listen!

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Some people like the affected vocal, some are violently opposed. I happen to think it adds to the mood and feel of the subject matter.

The original demo was recorded in a hotel room at Fairmont Hot Springs, playing an acoustic guitar, and tapping a pair of drumsticks on a guitar case.

Also, that is NOT Sling Blade talking a the end.

Down in Alabama, just outside of Mobile
There’s a shotgun shack on the edge of a soybean field
When the moon gets full in the summertime
Folks come around with some homemade wine
The ground starts shaking like an out-of-tune automobile

The wine starts flowing and the people start to moan and twitch
Snakes and gators come crawling up out of the ditch
If it ain’t too cloudy and the stars are bright
The shack starts glowing with a ghostly light
And out the door flies the Alabama Hoodoo Witch

Chorus
The Alabama Hoodoo Witch is a party machine
She’s a wang dang doodle boogie woogie disco queen
With some magic words and a wave of her hand
Everybody’s dancing to a five-piece band
She celebrates every day like it’s Halloween

Where she came from, nobody seems to know
Some folks say she was raised by Marie Leveau
If you ever take a sip of her special brew
You’d best be wearing your dancing shoes
You’ll be cuttin’ a rug and spinning like a dynamo

Chorus
The Alabama Hoodoo Witch is a party machine
She’s a wang dang doodle boogie woogie disco queen
With some magic words and a wave of her hand
Everybody’s dancing to a five-piece band
She celebrates every day like it’s Halloween
