The Hoodoo

The Hoodoo - A Bogie Song was written in 1912. The blurb on the music sheet reads: "A tale of a bogey monster who appears on the scene at dusk asking 'Are dere any little children who am not in bed?' (sic). Possessing a tuneful and catchy refrain, the song is sure to be a popular success, as was evinced at the French - Collisson recitals at Steinway Hall when the whole audience readily joined in the refrain with evident enjoyment".
