10 Mannish Boy / Hoochie Coochie Man

WILLIE BUCK “MANNISH BOY/HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN”
Now when I was a young boy
At the age of five
My mother said I was gonna be
One of the greatest mans alive
Now I'm a man
I'm past twenty-one
I want you to believe me honey
I had lots of fun

I'm a man
I spell M
A child
N
That represents "man"
No B
O child
Y
That represents "mannish boy"
I'm a man!
I’m a Rollin’ Stone
I’m a man!
I'm a hoochie coochie man
Think I go down
To Kansas too
I’m gonna bring back my second cousin, y’all
This little John the Conquer root
All you girls
Sittin’ out there in line
I bet you I can make love to you woman
In 5 minutes time
Ain’t that a Man
Man!
I’m a full-grown man
Sittin' on the outside
Just me and my mate
I’m made to move you, honey
Come up two hours late

Ain’t that a man
A Man!
I’m a natural born lover man
Think I’ll go down
To Kansas, too
I’m gonna bring back my second cousin, y’all
This little John the Conquer root
All you girls
Sittin out there in line
I’ll bet you I can make love to you woman
In 5 minutes time
Ain’t that a Man
Well, Well, Well, Well, Well
Well, Well, Well, Well, Well

The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born

Gonna be a son of a gun
Gonna make pretty women
Jump and shout

But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here

But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Oh you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here

On the seventh hour
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
He was born for good luck
And that you'll see

Don't you mess with me

But you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
