Notes

Authorship uncertain.

The original version first recorded (but probably not written by) Ann Cole.

Muddy Waters toured with Ann Cole in the late 50's, liked the song, and added lyrics to produce a new version.

Most subsequent versions credit just Muddy Waters as writer or credit Muddy Waters & Preston Foster. Some versions credit just Preston Foster.

Original version had the full title "Got My Mojo Workin (But It Just Won't Work On You)". Also occurs as "I've Got My Mojo Workin" or "I Got My Mojo Workin"
