[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, 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 gumbo cooker, alligator hooker
Make a dead man jump and shout, woo
[Chorus]
Talking about a woman named Hanna
(Where she live?) Down in Louisiana
(Tell us what she do) She's a mojo worker
(Woo-hoo) Gonna work her thing for me
(Woo-hoo) Gonna end my misery, baby
(Woo-hoo) And I know she's walking through the door real soon
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) Hurry up, Hanna
(Hurry up) Yeah, baby
[Verse 2]
She don't wear fancy stitches
All the girl wears is manly britches
Every now and then she'll take a little sip
Got a .45 on her hip
She built up a strong reputation all in the southern land
That Saturday night about twelve o'clock
When she hoodoo the voodoo man
[Chorus]
Talking about a woman named Hanna
(Where she live?) Down in Louisiana
(Tell us what she do) She's a mojo worker
(Woo-hoo) Gonna work her thing for me
(Woo-hoo) Gonna end my misery
(Woo-hoo) I know she's walking through the door real soon
(Hurry up, hurry up, Hanna) Come on, Hanna
(Hurry up) Yeah, yeah
[Outro]
(Hurry up, Hanna, woo-hoo)
Yeah, get your mojo working, girl, yeah
(Hurry up, Hanna, woo-hoo)
And I know you're the best in all the world, baby
(Hurry up, Hanna, woo-hoo)
And I'm waiting down here by the railroad track, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hurry up, Hanna, woo-hoo)
I know you're gonna bring her back, yeah, yeah
(Hurry up, Hanna, woo-hoo)
Hanna, Hanna, come on, come on, Hanna
(Hurry up, Hanna, woo-hoo)
Please, Hanna, yeah
