SqueezeMyLemon: Blues Terminology: John The Conquer
Here is some really interesting blues lore, Fitzgerald has posted on Squeeze my Lemon. It's all about the source of the line in Hoochie Coochie Man, I got the John the Conqueroo. I never would have guessed it was a plant!

But the line has never been Got the John the Conqueroo : it is I got the john the conqueror root - so it is clearly a plant. You could buy it in the voodoo shop on Bourbon St in New Orleans. You could buy Mojos too.
I once had a chicken foot rosary that was given to me by my friend candy.....it may have come from the same voodoo shop.
I did buy that chicken foot ina voodoo shop on bourbon Street. didn't your life fall apart after that? Heh heh...well life is a pendulum swing anyways right?
