J.B. Lenoir - His Job Recordings 1951-1954

The Mojo (Take 1)

I've been to New Orleans and I sure had a wonderful time
I've been to New Orleans and I sure had a wonderful time
I was high, high as a Georgia pine

You know my auntie carried me all down on Rampart Street
I seen everybody I wanted to meet
She said, JB, son, stop, look and listen to me
They got something, knock you off of your feet

They got the mojo boogie
The Mojo boogie
They got that mojo boogie, begin to slide on down

I thought she was speakin' about over in Algiers
I said, "Auntie, please tell me, just what did you say?"
They got the Louisiana boogie, all 'em other kind of things
They even got the thing they call the mojo hand

They got the mojo boogie
Mojo boogie
They got the mojo boogie, begin to slide on down

I got one jack, sure is crazy
My aunt forgot to teach me, just how to operate it
I went to a night club, I was squeezing it tight
I believe that's the 'cause of them people's start to fight

I had the mojo boogie
The mojo boogie
I had the mojo boogie, begin to slide on down
