Got My Mojo Working

(Foster)

Informação:
Muddy Waters (nome verdadeiro: McKinley Morganfield) escreveu e gravou Got My Mojo Working (Chess 1652) em 1957.
No entanto, a sua versão não entrou para as tabelas. O grande sucesso foi o de Jimmy Smith, em 1966, com o lançamento instrumental pela Verve Records (Verve 10393), que chegou à 51ª posição na tabela de rhythm & blues. Um “mojo” é um amuleto de vudu utilizado para melhorar as capacidades sexuais. Outras gravações com títulos que incluem a palavra mojo por vários artistas incluem Mojo Hand, Mojo Strut e Mojo Blues. 

Elvis gravou Got My Mojo Working numa gravação de jam session (em conjunto com Keep Your Hands Off It) em 5 de Junho de 1970, nos estúdios da RCA, em Nashville. Por qualquer motivo, o LP Love Letters From Elvis apontava Preston Foster como sendo o compositor de Got My Mojo Working.

Letra:

Hands off of her, she belongs to me
Mojo working don't belong to you
Well, she's mine all mine no matter what you do
Play it boys, play it boys

I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
But you're mine all mine no matter what you do

Let me tell you now
She's long lean and lanky, sweet as she can be
Hands off of her, she belongs to me
Hands off of her don't belong to you
Well she's mine all mine no matter what you do

I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
Well you're mine all mine no matter what you do
Play it Jerry, play it

No matter what you do, play it son

Well she's long lean and lanky, sweet as she can be
Hands off of her unless you want to deal with me
I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
Well you're mine all mine no matter what you do
Yeah!

I got my mojo workin' I got my mojo workin'
I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
Well, you're mine all mine no matter what you do
She's long lean and lanky, sweet as she can be
Hands off of her, she belongs to me
Hands off of her' don't belong to you
Well you're mine all mine no matter what you do
One more time!

Yeah!
I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
Well, you're mine all mine no matter what you do

Listen to me now
I said you're long lean and lanky cute as you can be
Hands off of her unless you want deal with me
Get your hands off of her, she don't belong to you
Well, you're mine all mine no matter what you do
Yeah, I got my mojo workin' I got my mojo workin'
I got my mojo workin' I got my mojo workin'
I got my mojo working but it just don't work on you
