Best Answer

It is actually 'John the Conqueror root'. It is commonly misheard, misunderstood, and then written as johnny cockaroo or john the cockaroo. John the Conqueror root is used as a good luck or protective talisman in hoodoo. That is why it is mentioned in context with 'black cat bone' and 'mojo' in the lyrics of muddy Waters' 'Hoochie Coochie Man'.
