Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)
Lyrics: The Grateful
Dead
Music: The Grateful Dead
I went down one day
I went down to see a gypsy woman just one day, yes I did
I wanna find out
What's wrong with me and my baby
We ain't been getting down like we used to do
I mean it's pretty good now
But there was a time when it didn't work out too well
I went down to see this gypsy woman, you understand
And I told her my story
I told her what was going on
And she turned to me and she said
All you need
All you gotta have
Just a touch, that's all you gotta have
Just a touch of mojo hand
And it feels pretty good

Wanna find out, oh, what's wrong with me
I said please, please, please tell me now
What's wrong with me
All right
Well she looked at me and she said "Man"
She said "Man, all you need"
All you need, all you need, all you need
All you need is a mojo hand
Mojo hand
All you need a mojo hand
That's what I'm gonna do
Get myself a mojo hand
And everything will be all right
I went down to see a gypsy woman one day
I wanted to find out
What's the matter with my baby and me
Yes I did, yes I did
She said "Son, what seem to be goin' on wrong?"
She said "Son, what seem to be goin' on wrong?"
And I begin to tol' her
Commence to tell her my story
"Please, please, Miss Gypsy Woman
Tell me how come me and my rider ain't gettin' on the way we used to do?"
So she kinda asked me some questions
She say, "Now do you leave your lady home alone too long, for some times?"
I said "Well, yes, I'm gone awhile, you know"
She said "Well, that could be number one
"When the cat's away the mouse will play an' all that"
And then she say, "Now do you bother your old lady too much?
"Do you wanta get it on more than she does?"
An' I said, "I wanta get it on any damn time I can"
She said, "Well, I don't know about that"
Asked another question, asked what I need, asked what I need
Asked a whole lotta questions, yeah she did
An' then you know, she said "Son, don't go see no doctor
I got just the thing that's good for you
She said, "I got all you need for ya"
All you need, all you need, yes I do
"I'm gonna whip up a little frog's eye, rattlesnake hide and batwing too"
She pitched up something she said will do
She said "Son, this is all you need, all you need"
All you need, all you need, all you need, all you need
All you need, all you need, all you need
Is just a little bit of Mojo
Just a little bit of Mojo
I got it whipped up for you, got it whipped up fine
She said now, that all I needed, all I needed
All I got to have, all I got to have, all I got to have
Is just a touch, just a touch of Mojo Hand
You know she gave it to me
And I bring it back home and it felt mighty nice, yes it did
Everything begin to get good, everything begin to get better
"Say baby," I rolled over, I tapped my rider on the shoulder
I said "hey now mama, I need some of that love, and I know you got it"
I got to get it
And she said, "What you say?"
I say, "Help my baby, I got to get it"
She say, "You can't get it if I ain't gonna give it"
And I seen what that old lady have give to me before
I just kinda peep out of the room, and walk over
And pick up my little Mojo bag
Just kinda stick it right under the pillow
While she's sleepin', she don't ever know
In just a little while, when I begin to be sleepin'
She begin to stir, and then I know
All I needed was that little Mojo
She just couldn't get away from it
I know it did that magic just right for me
Just slip it under the pillow one night
If you ever have trouble with your lady, fella
Just slip it under the pillow one night
Then you can come home from a hard day's work
Eat breakfast, then go to sleep again
Get into bed, begin to go to sleep
Feelin' all tired, kinda run all down
An' next thing you hear her saying
You hear a little whisper in your ear
She said, "Baby, you awake?"
And you know your Mojo is working
Keep that woman under control
That's all you got to do
Mo-mo-mo-mo-mojo is the thing you need
And if you got it, and your lady ain't got it
Why don't you just give her some of it
An' everything will be all right, yes it will
That ol' gypsy woman said tol' me when I went down
She said, she said "Son," she said "Son"
All you need, all you need, all you need, all you need
All you got to have
And she told me, that all you need
All you need and all you got to have
All you need, all you need, all you need, all you need
All you need, all you need, all you need
Ah my my my Mojo Hand
Just a little bit of Mojo
Just a little bit of Mojo, get yourself on straight
A little bit of Mojo, baby to get yourself straight
My my my
