Well I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand.
Stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand.
I pick up all the pieces
Make an island
Might even raise a little sand.
’Cause I'm a voodoo chile,
Voodoo chile
Lord knows
I’m a voodoo chile.

—J. M. Hendrix, Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

May 1968.
