I'm gon' give you thirty days to get back home
I done call up a gypsy woman on a telephone
Gon' send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gon' see that you be back home in thirty days

Oh thirty days (thirty days!)
Oh thirty days (thirty days!)
Baby, I'm a see that you be back home in thirty days
Well, she gonna send out a world wide hoodoo
That'll be the very thing that'll suit you
I'm gon' see that you be back home in thirty days.

Well I talk to the judge in private early this morning
And 'e took me to the sheriff's office to sign a war't
He gon' put across charge agin ya
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gon' see that you be back home in thirty days

Oh thirty days (thirty days)
Oh thirty days (thirty days)
I'm gon' see that you be back home in thirty days
Yea I'm gon' put across charge agin' ya
That'll be the very thing that'll send ya
I'm gonna see that you be back home in thirty days

If don't get no satisfaction from the judge
I'm gon' take it to the FBI as a personal grudge
If they don't give me no consolation
I'm gonna take it to the United Nations
I'm gon' see that you be back home in thirty days

Oh Thirty Days! (thirty days)
Oh Thirty Days! (thirty days)
Baby I'm a see that you be back home in thirty days
Well if you don't give me no consolation
I'm gon' take it to the United Nations
I'm gon' see that you be back home in Thirty Days!
