Got My Mojo Working

 
Song Lyrics: Got My Mojo Working
Written by: Preston Foster
First recorded by: Ann Cole (1957)
Rewritten and Recorded by: Muddy Waters (1957)


I got my mojo working, but it just don't work on you
I got my mojo working, but it just don't work on you
I want to love you so bad, 'till I just don't know what to do

I'm going down to Louisiana, to get me a mojo hand
I'm going down to Louisiana, to get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna have all you women, get you under my command

I got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
I got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
I got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
I got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
But it just don't work on me

I got a gypsy woman giving me advice
I got a gypsy woman giving me advice
I got a whole lot of tricks keeping here on ice

I got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
I got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
I got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
I got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
But it just don't work on me


Muddy Waters
(McKinley Morganfield)
April 4, 1915 or 1913 - April 30, 1983



Lyrics as recorded by Ann Cole (1957)
(Probably closest to the Original Lyrics)


I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my black cat bones all cured and dry
I got a four-leaf clover all hangin' high
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my hoodoo ashes all around your bed
Got my black snake roots underneath your head
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got some red-hot tips I have to keep on ice
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my rabbit foot, I know it's workin right
I got this strand of hair I'll keep day and night
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do

I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I got my mojo workin' but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so 'til I don't know what to do
