Junior Wells lyrics

Hoodoo Man Blues (1953) blues lyrics

Lord, I wonder what's has got the matter
Wit' time, you know, wit' time
It seems like the hours, oh, everything done changed

But I hold up my hand,
I'm just tryin' t'make her understand
Lord, you know, everybody tells Little Junior
That somebody done hoodooed the hoodoo man.

Now, I'm goin' down to Louisiano
an' get me a mojo hand
My little woman she done quit me for some other man

But I hold up my hand,
I'm tryin' to make her understand
Lord, you know, everybody they tells me,
That somebody done hoodooed the hoodoo man

(Spoken) Well that's what I'm talkin' --

harp and guitar duet

Now I buzzed your bell this morning
You had your elevator running slow
I buzzed your bell, little woman, to take me on the third floor

But I hold up my hand,
I'm just trying make you understand
Lahw, you know, ever'vody tells Li'l Junior,
Somebody hoodooed the hoodoo man.
