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
