I never understood one damn word of it -- and that never mattered. A stone groove top to bottom. Back in '70, from the 1st second the needle hit the vinyl, the Doctor ripped the scales off my eyes, blew the wax out of my ears, and the fog right out of my mind. Here, in one piece are all the tasty ingredients in the gumbo that's New Orleans: the beating heart of West Africa, the Caribean heat & voodoo spice, the mysticism of Joan of Arc, the Duende of Andalucia, the deep blues of the Delta, the raw passion of Sidney Bechet's soprano saxophone. Everything but the sassafras! But it's plenty slippery without that!

Some people think they jive me But I know they must be crazy Don't see dey misfortune Guess, they just too lazy J'suis the Grand Zombie My yellow belt of choison Ain't afraid of no tom cat Fill my brains with poison Walk through the fire Fly through the smoke See my enemy At the end of dey rope Walk on pins and needles See what they can do Walk on gilded splinters With the king of the Zulu Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters 'Ti Alberta Ti Alberta 'Ti Alberta Roll outta my coffin Drink poison in my chalice Pride begins to fade And y'all feel my malice Put gris gris on your doorstep Soon you'll be in the gutter I can melt your heart like butter A-a-and I can make you stutter Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters Kon kon, the kiddy kon kon Walk on gilded splinters 'Ti Alberta

I was in a headshop on Hollywood Blvd in 68". Blacklights, posters, incense burning and in the backround this song. Who is this? The owner pointed to the record displays and here's this dude decked out in full voodoo apparel. What a trippy album cover. I was hooked. I so loved the handle Dr. John the "Night Tripper". How cool is this dude?

I saw the good Doctor in concert numerous times and he was always spell binding. The best was when it was just him, a standup bass and a small kit drummer. The lights lowered until there was a single spot on him and the candles on the piano top lighting a human skull. The bass started the intro to 'Walk on Gilded Splinters', but a very slowed down version. With the drummer using one stick to tap the snare drum and the other to 'ting' a cymbal, the bass player holding the line and Dr. John playing the simplest chords---he just about whispered it-- pure magic!

Lucky to have seen him several times in the early 1980's when he was touring as warm up for the Jerry Garcia Band. Always kind of an underrated talent, since so little of his material was considered radio-friendly (much like Jerry and the Dead). I think this is him singing and his songwriting at their absolute best. Fortunately, so many top-notch musicians at the time felt the same and joined him in this knockout performance.

please note: the word is "GILDED" splinters; in other words, to thinly coat with a precious metal, usually gold is to gild something (and it's a verb); to give a false brilliance etc; now the word "GUILD" is a noun and it is: "a medieval association of craftsmen or merchants"; ~ Google; Don't feel badly though, i have the album "Gris Gris" and they misspelled Gilded Splinters on it as well..heh

Actually the legal title of the song (the one it’s copyrighted with) is “I Walk on Guilded Splinters”. I think the misspelling is intentional. But of course, what he’s actually *singing* is “gilded”, it’s just the title that’s misspelled.

@james crowe .Yes back in the 60s we didnt have the clear record players. and it did sound lke cane. i always think cane now, as it is also fitting. my husband and myself are honoury Masaai and my husband was given a stick as a symbol of acceptance. As the gilded splinters refer to the points of light from celestial bodies, it also would be appropriate to bear the cane of the Zulu for protection and quidance. So yes. cane for me .and the King is the power in he cane.
