Marvin Gaye - Mo Jo Hanna Lyrics

Mo Jo Hanna Song Lyrics
Mo Jo Hanna by Marvin Gaye [Intro]
Yeah, that’s it, ha, ow
Everybody say “OW”
Say “OW”
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I’m taking four strands of your hair
And a five dollar bill
Gonna put ’em in a letter
And drop ’em in the mail
Gonna send ’em to a woman
A friend of mine told me about
She’s a good gumbo cooker, alligator hooker
Make a dead man jump and shout

[Chorus]
Baby, talking about a woman named Hanna
(Where she live?) Down in Louisiana
(Tell us what she do) Tell me she’s a mojo worker
(Woo-hoo) Gonna work her thing for me
(Woo-hoo) Gonna end my misery
(Woo-hoo) And I know that you’ll be back home real soon
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) C’mon home, Hanna
(Hurry up) Yeah
Ah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
She built up a strong reputation in the southern land
Lord, one Saturday night about twelve o’clock
When she hoodoos the voodoo man

[Chorus]
Oh, talking about a woman named Hanna
(Where she live?) Down in Louisiana
(Tell us what she do) Tell me she’s a mojo worker
(Woo-hoo) Gonna work her thing for me, yeah
(Woo-hoo) Gonna end my misery, yeah
(Woo-hoo) Sugar, I know that you’ll be back home real soon
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) C’mon home, baby
(Hurry up) Yeah yeah yeah, hurry up, Hanna
(Hurry up, Hanna)

[Bridge]
I know, get your mojo working, girl
(Hurry up, Hanna) Girl, I know you’re the best in the whole wide world
(Hurry up, Hanna) Yeah, I’ll be waiting by the railroad track, yeah
(Hurry up, Hanna) And I know she’s gonna bring you back, oh hey hey

She was hired to bring my old lady back
My lady left me
