Ju Ju Man - Dave Edmunds

I was just 16 years old

And Maggie’s hair was black as coal

And I felt this heart of mine go slipping away

Now, her eyes were bright as the stars up above

Every word Maggie spoke was love

And I felt this heart of mine go slipping away

Falling in love again

Falling in love again

We don’t care if we don’t ever do

Fall back out again!

Time went on and my love it got stronger

Me and Maggie couldn’t wait any longer

We had to go to town right away to see the Ju Ju Man

I said, «Please please tell me, Mr. Ju Ju Man

Read the cards that you’ve got in your hand

I’ve got to make a plan for me and my Maggie love.»

Falling in love again

Falling in love again

We don’t care if we don’t ever do

Fall back out again!

Maggie’s Mama, she’d like to hang me

Maggie’s Pa, now, I know he’d like to chain me

Cause he don’t understand a word of what I said

I said, «Please, Mr. Ju Ju Man

Will I be holding my sweet Maggie’s hand

When the robin sings again in the Spring, next June?»

Falling in love again

Falling in love again

We don’t care if we don’t ever do

Fall back out again!
