Mojo Hand Blues — Ida Cox

I'm going to Louisiana, to get myself a mojo hand I'm going to Louisiana, to get myself a mojo hand 'Cause these backbiting women are trying to take my man

I woke up this morning, 'bout half past three I woke up this morning, 'bout half past three And to my surprise, my man had tipped out on me

You may tip now, sweet papa, while tipping is grand You may tip now, sweet papa, while tipping is grand But your tipping will be over, when mama gets her mojo hand

Daddy, oh daddy, why don't you treat me kind? Daddy, oh daddy, why don't you treat me kind? Because a gal like me is mighty darn hard to find

When I got you, daddy, in your pants was a great big hole When I got you, daddy, in your pants was a great big hole But now I can't hand you an apple on a ten foot pole
