Lyrics of
Witchy Woman

The song Witchy Woman was written by Don Henley and Bernie Leadon of the Eagles. It was inspired by various women, including Zelda Fitzgerald, whose tumultuous life with her husband, writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, is well documented. The song tells the tale of a seductive, mysterious woman with almost supernatural powers. Henley began writing this song while convalescing from an illness in Los Angeles and was influenced by books and stories he was r ... eading and listening to at the time, including Mikhail Bulgakovs The Master and Margarita.

Raven hair and ruby lips, Sparks fly from her finger tips,
 Echoed voices in the night, She's a restless spriit on and endless flight

 Woo-hoo witchy woman, see how high she flies
 Woo-hoo witchy woman, see got the moon in her eyes

 She had me spell-bound in the night. Dancing shadows in the fire light
 Crazy laughter in another room,
 And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon. (al coda (+)

 I know you want to love her, but let me tell you brother,
 She's been sleepin in the devil's bed.
 There's some rumors goin round. Someone's underground,
 She can rock you in the night until your skin turns red

 Woo-hoo witchy woman, see how high she flies
 Woo-hoo witchy woman, see got the moon in her eyes
