Mojo Hand (American Folk Blues Festival Version) Lyrics


I'm goin' to Louisiana and get me a mojo hand
I'm goin' to Louisiana and get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna fix my woman so she can't have no other manCold ground was my bed last night, rocks was my pillow too
Cold ground was my bed last night, rocks was my pillow too
I woke up this morning, I'm wondering, what in the world am I gonna do?I lay down thinking, buy me a mojo hand
I lay down thinking, buy me a mojo hand
I did wanna fix my woman so she can't have no other manBut don't let your woman fix you like mine fixed me
Don't let your woman, boy, fix you like mine fixed me
She make a fool about her, about as a fool can beNow, can't a woman act funny when she got another man?
Can't a woman act funny when she got another man?
You know, she won't look straight at you
And she's always raisin' sand, sandWell, I'm going tomorrow but I won't be gone long
I'm going tomorrow but I won't be gone very long
I'm gonna get me a mojo hand, I'm gonna bring it back homeThat's what I'm gonna do

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
