Lucille Bogan:
"An? I ain?t goin? to let no?body put that doggone thing on me.?
Willie Brown:
"Lord, bless that woman, That put that thing on me."
Similar verses show up in a number of songs. When I first heard it I thought it sounded like it had roots in voodoo (put the evil eye on someone), but I haven't managed to find anything concrete on the matter. Am I hallucinating or is there anything to support a voodoo connection.
