I was born to a gypsy woman

With lightnin' crashing all around my crib

Doctor took one look, he started runnin'

He got two steps an' lightnin' struck him dead

The wind was howlin' like the devil come knockin'

The house came down, the cradle was rockin'



He called out for a hoodoo man

With a rock 'n' roll attitude

He made a sign with his mo-jo hand

And the lightnin' done struck him blue

I jumped out of that cradle

Grabbed a black cat bone and said

"Mama, don't you worry, I was born to storm."



When lightnin' strikes and the walls fall down

I'm a wild cat, baby, when the thunder sounds

When lightnin' strikes, white lightnin'



And double or nothin'

Baby, pull my switch

I got a six string hammer

Gonna scratch this itch

I'm a white witch, honey

With long blonde hair

Won't you step into my 'lectric chair



When lightnin' strikes and the walls fall down

I'm a wild cat, baby, when the thunder sounds

When lightnin' strikes, white lightnin'



White, White Lightnin'

White, White Lightnin'

White, White Lightnin'

Comin' at you tonight, comin' at you tonight, comin' at you



When lightnin' strikes and the walls fall down

I'm a white witch, honey, when the thunder sounds

When lightnin' strikes and the walls fall down

I'm a wild cat, baby, when the thunder sounds

When lightnin' strikes, white lightnin'

Lightnin' strikes, white lightnin'



Yeah, rock me right outta my crib

Put on the floor, hah, I almost cracked open my head

Whoa, baby
