Mojo Man

lyrics

9. Mojo Man

Yeah...I went down to New Orleans…at the age of 25…
I knew I was about…th' finest man alive…
I had mo’ mojo…any man I ever seen…
When it comes to mojo mamma…there ain’t nothin’ in between…
I walk in a blind alley…just before midnight...
I found me a dapper man…
but I knew that somethin’ jus’ wasn't right...
He looked down on me…an' says with his crooked smile…
Ya got somethin’ son that belong to me…an’ ya had it fer quite a while…

Chorus*
*I got th' mojo mamma…’got th' mojo Mama’… I got th' mojo mamma…’got th' mojo Mama’…I got the mojo mamma…an’ you can’t take that away from me…

He say’s...I’s still th' one…who owns all th' mojo in dis world…
An’ when I'm done...with you son...yo’ bones is gonna curl…
He lift up his arms…an’ held out his hands…
An' sparks flew from th' finger tips…of this “Mojo Man’…
He lift me from th' ground… he roll an' tumble me through th’ air…
He slam me in a ce-ment wall…like he didn’t even care…
I was lookin’ fo’ th’ black cat bone…but it jus’ weren’t around…
Th’ las’ thing I remember…was th' walls tumblin’ down…
Chorus
(I'm gonna beat him down)
'Klamp' - harp solo

That mornin’ when I woke up…I was battered black an’ blue…
I knew I hadn’t won that fight…but I sure as hell didn’t loose…
You see I still had somethin’…but I jus' couldn't put it right…
Someway I los’ my mojo…when I had that terrible fight…
So I picked myself up…an' I brushed myself down…
And I go right back to th’ alley…in th' dead center of town…
And there stood th’ dapper man…black hat an' 6’5”…
He laugh at me an’ says...hell son you're barely alive…
Chorus…

'Klamp' - harp solo
play some guitar Mac...
'Lonesome Mac' - guitar solo

So I pull myself up…to my full height and says…
There’s somethin’ you ain’t got man…
an’ I will prove or end up dead…
So I reach deep down deep…an' I pull out th’ black cat bone…
Brother I says, I ain’t leavin’…’til I take my mojo home…
So he raise up his arms… I see sparks an’ blue light…
So I sing some Robert Johnson…at th' start of th' fight…
Then I throw in some Willie Dixon man...and a Young Hollywood
Slim…
And by the time I reach th’ 2nd verse… there was nothin’ left of him…
Chorus
so...I got th' mojo Mama...and you can't take that...away from me...
I got all th' Mojo Mama...an' you'll never take that away from me...
