Lyrics Ju Ju Man - Dave Edmunds

Ju Ju Man

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!
