Original Ann Cole version
Got my Mojo working but it just won't work on you
I got my Mojo working but it just won't work on you
I want to love you so till I don't know what to do
I got my black cat bones all pure and dry
I got my four-leaf clovers all hanging high
I got my Mojo working but it just won't work on you
Ohh, I want to love you so till I don't know what to do
I got my voodoo ashes all around your bed
I got my black snake roots underneath your head
I got my Mojo working but it just won't work on you
Well, I want to love you so till I don't know what to do
I got a gypsy woman giving me advice
I got some red hot tips I have to keep on ice
I got my Mojo working but it just won't work on you
Ohh, I want to love you so till I don't know what to do
I got my rabbit foot I know it's working right
I got your strand of hair I keep day and night
I got my Mojo working but it just won't work on you
Oh oh oh, I want to love you so till I don't know what to do
Ohh, I got my Mojo working but it just won't work on you
Ohh, I got my Mojo working but it just won't... [fades out]
