Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya Lyrics

Lyric discussion by raburns 

Cover art for Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya lyrics by Dr. John

i think the second line is:

"got my satchel of gris-gris in my hand"

i never knew what gris-gris was until my cousin (who graduated from grambling in new orleans) let me know it referred to voodoo fetishes, dolls, herbs, etc.

i love this song, and dr. john.
