Got a black magic woman.
I got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can't see
That she's a black magic woman
She's tryin' to make a devil out of me.
Don't turn your back on me baby
Don't turn your back on me baby.
Yes, don't turn your back on me baby
Stop messin' ëround with your tricks
Don't turn your back on me baby
You just might pick up my magic sticks.
Got your spell on me baby
Got your spell on me baby.
Yes you got your spell on me baby
Turning my heart into stone
I need you so bad - magic woman
I can't leave you alone. "

The piece exemplifies the band's mastery of fusion, seamlessly integrating traditional Latin percussion with heavy rock instrumentation. Its enduring legacy lies in its ability to transcend genre boundaries, influencing countless artists across rock, jazz, and Latin music. The recording remains a staple of Santana's discography, celebrated for its emotional depth and technical prowess.
