Julie! Julie!
Lucky Dube · Other Side [2004]
He lives up on the mountain
They say he mixes herbs
Throws the bones, tells the future
I'm on my way right now
I wanna know my future
With a girl named Julie
I'm on my way right now
I wanna know my future
With a girl named Julie
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
The road is hard, getting up there
But they say where there's love
There'll always be a way
So I'm gonna huff and puff
Make my way to the mountain top
'Cause I wanna know my future
With a girl named Julie
I wanna know my future
With a girl named Julie
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Some people call him the witch doctor
But how can he be a witch
And a doctor at the same time?
If she's not the right one for me
I better stop dreaming about her
I'm on my way right now
I wanna know my future
With a girl named Julie
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
Julie! Julie! Julie! Oh girl
