歌词

[01:03.50]Well, I stand up next to a mountain

[01:06.37]And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

[01:20.00]Well, I stand up next to a mountain

[01:24.58]Chop it down with the edge of my hand

[01:31.79]Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island

[01:33.69]Might even raise just a little sand

[01:42.78]'Cause I'm a voodoo child

[01:47.00]Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

[02:47.66]I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time

[02:50.95]I'll give it right back to you one of these days

[03:03.84]I said, I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time

[03:08.73]I'll give it right back to you one of these days

[03:14.00]And if I don't meet you no more in this world

[03:18.75]Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one

[03:20.24]And don't be late, don't be late

[03:26.62]'Cause I'm a voodoo child

[03:30.30]Lord knows I'm a voodoo child 《Voodoo Child》现场

赏析

这首E调歌曲充满了德克萨斯摇滚味道，被无数同样以Blues为基础的摇滚及重金属乐手翻弹。这首歌的Intro部分的Riff被Slash在一次巡回演唱会中作为Civil War的前奏带起乐句动机，进入主曲部分； 另外还有Stevie Ray Vaughan在80年代的演唱；及The Byrds与Bob Dylan在60年代的版本；G3（Steve Vai, Joe Satriani,Yngwie Malmsteen）也在演唱会上翻唱过；电影《黑鹰坠落》里也有这首歌作为插曲。 “Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)”是最受艺术家们关注的Hendrix歌曲，他们总会在翻唱中融入他们的个人情怀。在权威摇滚、吉他杂志排名中“Guitar 100 solos”第11、“滚石500”第101、不过每个人心里都有自己的排名。
