Dr. John – Bruha Bembe Lyrics

Rock

There's a conger woman
Live way down the bayou
Way down by yourself

She got something going
And nobody know it
But she got it
She got it and nobody else

She can work her gris-gris
That old brouhaha bembe
Yeah she can work it
That old brouhaha bembe

Brouhaha bembe
And ti nan nenê
Brouhaha bembe
And ti nan nenê

Now there's a woman
Down the way
And I won't tell you
What they say
She can give you
Just what you need
A lot of potion
For the seas

Make the dead do a dance
Make a put a pigeon in a trance
Make a cold heart hot
Make a crippled horse trot

Brouhaha bembe
And ti nan nenê
Brouhaha bembe
And ti nan nenê

She got a line
Got a mojo in her hand
She can light the spark up
In any woman or man
Shake the ti nan nenê
On your hand, baby
Got a little cayenne spice
Make you feel real nice

Make the dead do a dance
Put a pigeon in a trance
Make a cold heart hot
Make a crippled horse trot

Brouhaha bembe
Ti nan nenê
Brouhaha bembe
Ti nan nenê

Got a little filé powder
That old bug-a-lee lady
She do like a little swamp weed
Yeah with her rice and gravy
Got some mocouli
Some St. John's reed
She got a mighty wanga

For her sleep
Some birds and lizards
And blue runner snakes
Predict your future
Or chase your pain away

Brouhaha bembe
Ti nan nenê
Brouhaha bembe
Ti nan nenê
Brouhaha bembe
Ti nan nenê
Brouhaha bembe
Ti nan nenê
