Lyrics
(Work that thing for me, Hannah)
I'm taking four strands of your hair (Uh-huh)
And a five-dollar bill (Uh-huh)
I'm gonna put 'em in a letter (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
And drop 'em in the mail (Uh-huh)
I'm gonna send 'em to a woman (Uh-huh)
A friend of mine told me about
She's a gumbo cooker and an alligator hooker
Makes a dead man jump and shout
Talkin' 'bout a woman named Hannah (Woman named Hannah)
Down in Louisiana
They tell me she's a mojo worker (Mojoe worker)
She's gonna work that thing for me (Work it for me, Hannah)
And end my misery (Work it for me, Hannah)
And I know you'll be back home real soon (Gonna be back home soon)
Real soon (Gonna be back home soon)
She don't wear fancy stitches (Uh-huh)
All she wears is man's britches (Uh-huh)
Now and then she'll take a little sip (Uh-huh)
She's got a.45 on her hip (Uh-huh)
She's built up a strong reputation (Uh-huh)
In the southern land
That Saturday night about twelve o'clock
When she voodoos a voodoo man
Talkin' 'bout a woman named Hannah (Woman named Hannah)
Down in Louisiana
They tell me she's a mojo worker (Mojoe worker)
She's gonna work that thing for me (Work it for me, Hannah)
And end my misery (Work it for me, Hannah)
And I know you'll be back home real soon (Gonna be back home soon)
Mmm-hmm, real soon (Gonna be back home soon)
And I know, I know your mojo's a-workin' good
And I said it's the best in all the world
Now I'm a-waitin' by the railroad track
And I know you're gonna bring him back
(Work that thing for me, Hannah)
Work that thing for me, Hannah
(Work that thing for me, Hannah)
And I'm waitin' by the railroad track
(Work that thing for me, Hannah)
'Cause I know you're gonna bring him back
(Work that thing for me, Hannah)
Oh, oh, oh
(Work that thing for me, Hannah)
Work that thing for me, now
