[Verse 1]
I'm taking four strands of your hair
And a five dollar bill
Gonna put it in a letter
And drop it in the mail
Gonna send it to a woman
A friend of mine told me about
She's a gumbo cooker, alligator hooker
Make a dead man jump and shout
[Chorus]
Baby, talking about a woman named Hanna
Down in Louisiana
Tell me she's a mojo worker
Gonna work that thing for me
Gonna end my misery
And I know that you'll be back home real soon
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) C'mon home baby
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) C'mon home baby
(Hurry up)
[Verse 2]
She don't wear fancy stitches
All she wears is a man's britches
Every now and then she takes a little sip
She's got a forty-five on her hip
She built up a strong reputation in the southern land
Saturday night about twelve o'clock
When she hoodoos the voodoo man
[Chorus]
Baby, talking about a woman named Hanna
Down in Louisiana
Tell me she's a mojo worker
Gonna work that thing for me
Gonna end my misery
And I know that you'll be back home real soon
C'mon home baby
C'mon home baby
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) Get your mojo working girl
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) I know you're the best in all the world
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) I'll be waiting by the railroad track
