Muddy Waters

Hoochie Coochie Man

(words and music by Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters)

1 The gypsie woman told my mother
before I was born
you got a boy child comin'
he gonna be a son of a gun
he's gonna make pretty women
he's gonna make 'em jump and shout
then the world could know
what this was all about

REF: Lord I'm here, oh yeah,
everybody knows I'm here, oh Lord
Cause I'm a hoochie coochie man
everybody knows I'm here

2 I got a black cat's bone
I got a mojo too
I'm John the Conqueror
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you pretty girls
lead me by the hand
then the world will know
I'm the hoochie coochie man
Lord ...

3 On the seventh hour
and on the seventh day
on the seventh month
the seven doctors say
He was born for good luck
and that you're gonna see
I got 700 dollars,
baby don't you mess up with me
Lord ...
