Muddy Waters / Stones - Hoochie Coochie Man

Gypsy woman told my momma, before I was born

You got a boy-child comin', gonna be a son-of-a-gun

Gonna make these pretty women, jump and shout

And the world will only know, a-what it's all about

Y'know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

And I'm the hoochie-coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here

On the seventh hour, of the seventh day,

on the seventh month, the seventh doctor said:

"He's born for good luck, and I know you see;

Got seven hundred dollars, and don't you mess with me

Y'know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

And I'm the hoochie-coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here

Gypsy woman told my momma

Said "Ooh, what a boy,

he gonna make so many women,

jump and shout for joy"

Y'know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

And I'm the hoochie-coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here

Gypsy woman told my momma, before I was born

You got a boy-child comin', gonna be a son-of-a-gun

Gonna make these pretty women, jump and shout

And the world will only know, a-what it's all about

Y'know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

And I'm the hoochie-coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here

Additional 2nd verse from original 1954 Muddy Waters take:

I got a black cat bone, I got a mojo too

I got John the Conqueror, I'm gonna mess with you

I'm gonna make you, pretty girl, lead me by the hand

Then the world will know, the Hoochie-Coochie Man
