Do what the witch says, no matter right or wrong do what she says or will put a spell you Do what the witch says, do it for yourself trust what she says and you don't fear her spell Do what the witch says let yourself go do not resist her and you will get along Go to the right place, go there alone she will bewitching, as no one did before Do what the witch says do what the witch says do what the witch says…oh, no, no She-said come at the right time and follow the path meet me at nighttime and you won't regret she is the mistress - clairvoyant turning the black key inside your heart she was a long time whore and bride the queen moth in a reign of flies she's been a mother a-long time ago who looked ìnto my-eyes before I was born Do what the witch says do what the witch says, to you She said meet me half way i'll stand by the pond move in the moonlight when the time has come she is a killer who kills with the lips she is a master who never stops teaching me she was a girlfriend who got her eyes on me now is too envious and won't let me see she was a hunter who never got seen she had a husband and got him killed Do what the witch says do what the witch says do what the witch says she's ready to catch you against your will she asked for you head to be hanged on a mill Do what the witch says let yourself go do not resist her and you will get along it’s what that you cut out since you’ve been alone that puts you on the top list and makes you feeling strong you got to be a creeper or bad to the bone to survive the winter and keep calm and strong if you Do what the witch says do what the witch says Do what the witch says do what the witch says One glass of whisky, one of scotch and she’ll be ready to purify your soul and you will do what she tells ya, believe it or not you’re not much better than others before you Do what the witch says, do what she tells you

Fortune 03:49
You know there’s a train that picks up the people and it leaves only when is full take it Ride it People on board are not alike someone’s black some other white what’s your color feel it feel it Don’t you think it’s crazy that someone gets you off the train? You better have a car in America better have a gun or a master card trust it feel it You’r maybe black, you’re maybe white but if you’r poor baby, you’ll never be right know it face it know it fuck it Don’t you think it’s crazy someone gonna stop your ride I’m still far from the solution but I’ll be ready when it comes I’ve got a few things to find out that are shacking my bones... ...soul bites you say I’m too slow for the engine speed of the machine city and its fast dreams well….we’ll see

For long time, I’ve lived like a mad, wasting time hiding all the love I felt Yet, I’m not alone ‘cause I feel alive As you can’t tell the blind how good is light So I was afraid of what I held back inside Now I want her back, Yes I want her back I want her back before I loose my mind and trust all those feelings that have never crossed my path I wore a long long tie I followed red lights She was in bed before I laid by her side speaking about future dreams that have never crossed my mind

Home 03:30
I’ve been down for so long since the day I left my home there’s a curse on my journey through the world I headed west and reached the land where someone’s life depends on some other’s death and no-one seems to care I play the game by the rules i’ve been cheated according to laws it was always nothing by my fault There were many days of sun there were some evenings full of stars but no light so clear so far But a man’s gotta be loved a brother’s gotta be loved a mother and father’s gotta be loved a friend’s gotta be true to me I trade my roots for some bread sold my heaven for a ticket to hell i’ve been taken mistreated and sold I’ve found a job and made new friends they talk much better than I can understand about taking me back - back home now take a little chance to be home back home you know you’ll be alone on your way back home

Poor Boy 03:42
I’m a poor boy a long-ways from home I do what I can but whatever I do is wrong I do what I can to be standing and not to fall just like a poor boy a long-ways from home I’m a poor boy a long-ways from home It’s hard to get people trust me I just wanna be treated for what I am I do what I can to pretending even if I’m down to be standing and not to fall I’m a poor boy a long-ways from home I know what I can and whom to believe can’t nobody walk my way instead of me Ain’t nobody to rely on gotta work this journey out right on my own Just like a poor boy a long-ways from home

Viva hobos 03:49
I’m going with the wind, I’m flying high I’m going with the wind by my side I’m going so far from my town I’m walking with my feet, I’m going fast Smile with all my teeth, they look so white think I won’t be back for tonight I went to tell my girl but she was away told my mother she was not afraid I told my grandma and all she said was: son, where do you go? please come back I’m going with the wind, I’m flying high I’m going with my heart and my mind soon I’ll be far from the town I’m gonna stay away - enough to see you crying over me If you meet my father tell him I’m ok If you meet my mother, say a little prayer If you meet my grandma, please just say: everywhere I go, I always think of her Toujours je pense de toi comme un rêves les chemin de rois sur la mere je me n’emport pas plus de rien f you meet my father tell him I’m ok If you meet my mother, say a little prayer If you meet my grandma, please just say: the devil’s got my soul, a woman did the rest

Tongue 03:57
Oh, my baby won’t looking cooler dressing better To remain young forever She don’t wanna cut her hairs she just wanna be mi girl Oh…my baby won’t Raising children, have a dog stay in the kitchen all day long She’s a woman, so wild and proud she just wanna hanging around Oh my baby says, my baby says she don’t wanna go to school to learn new languages and fit the rules she’s so black and so nice she just wanna be on my side Oh my baby wrote me Said she’s sorry to have left but she never liked the west said she wanna speak mother tongue find her own place in the world Oh, my baby

Without You 05:13
I think it’s time to hit the road for a while put my life into a bag one more time without crying without thinking too much without speaking This time I won’t let any girl change my plans no, I won’t let anyone drive me mad without joking without lying without hassling anyone Too much time spent looking at the sky set me up to jump across the pond and fly without landing without going too far sometimes turning, but without you adieu-adieu Of all the medicines I’ve got, you’re the best killing gently like the smoke of cigarettes without burning without talking without seeing I think it’s time to hit the road for a while put my life into a bag one more time without crying without thinking too much without lying to me without you
9.
Want you please take me back where I belong? All the streets I walk on keep me away from you I want to be free, lay my hands upon the ground you keep my body going, you keep me going on Don’t you see there’s a blackmail on my will that holds much more than I can ever get so you please take me back where I belong ‘cause all the streets I walk on lead me to your hands I would know you out of a crowd if I could see you even in another town I would follow you just to get your sent I would be ready to change my plans

about

Wakan Goki Zoroi is an ancient collection of stories that have as their background the seaport cities of ancient Asia and their visitors. This is the starting point for the new work of Caboose, who collect nine stories written during their travels to New Orleans, Naples, London, and then recorded at Kuca Studio, now a real production house for the duo.
The multicolored animal imprinted on the cover immediately introduces us to the multifaceted universe of their journey, where you come into contact with voodoo witches, immigrants, hobos, travelers, all united by a sense of uprooting and an insatiable curiosity for life. From here comes the longing for a place in the world, whether imaginary or real - from here comes the Blues, in short - but not only.

To spice up the album there are dusty desert rock (Without you, I want her back), ballads reminiscent of West-Africa (Viva Hobos, Tongue) and the always dear hill-country, interpreted with that vein of innovation that characterizes the two previous works (Caboose, Hinterland Blues). Awake go zero is a record that looks at Mississippi with its feet firmly planted in the Italian countryside; in this sense the intersection between the two countries becomes an invitation to mix traditions, exchange cultural heritage, take risks. Like a traveler in ancient China would do, or a Hobos jumping on a running train.
Awake go Zero is released by Bloos Records, an Italian label that is welcoming under its brand the best Italian groups of African-American music, with significant international collaborations (Corey Harris above all).
