    Tony mckay

    Exuma ... you hear
    We gotta take our time
    Gettin' this one started
    Hey mamma soul mamma soul papa
    Hey soul body soul body soul body
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey yah gonna take my time
    Gettin' this one togheter
    Gonna take my time
    Gettin' this one togheter
    Gotta go home now
    Gotta go home yea
    You know about the holy roller church?
    Ain't that were it started?
    Ha ha i know
    We've outgrown it now
    And i cry that i think that i can't do
    I like money yah
    I like fine clothes
    I like all of it
    But i know where my roots are
    You hear me

    Sometimes my daughter says
    "mamma i don't understand them people"
    I don't either, but i'm fond of 'em
    And i like it
    Say hey hey
    Need your help, hey hey
    Cool down now, hey hey

    Obeah woman
    Yes, i'm the obeah woman
    Do you know what one is?
    Ha do you know what an obeah woman is?
    I'm the obeah woman from beneath the sea
    To get to satan you gotta pass through me
    'cause i know the angels name by name
    I can eat thunder and drink the rain
    Been through enough
    Yeah they call me nita and pices too
    There ain't nothing that i can't do
    If i choose to, if you let me

    Ha i'm the obeah woman, above pain
    I can eat thunder and drink the rain
    I kiss the moon and hug the sun
    And call the spirits and make 'em run
    You hear me?
    You hear me?
    'cause i ain't praying, never was
    Just waiting for my time
    Waiting for to die
    Hackle and patience
    Hackle and patience oh yeah

    Obeah now
    Obeah obeah now
    I'm the obeah woman from beneath the sea
    To get to satan baby you gotta pass through me
    I know the angels name by name
    I can eat thunder and drink the rain
    How you think i lasted this long?
    Alright, alright
    I kiss the moon and hug the sun
    O yeah oh well oh well
    You people from the islands
    Know about the obeah woman
    I did't put the name on myself
    And i don't like it
    Sometimes, but the weight is too heavy
    The weight is too heavy
    Let' finish it
