(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man Lyrics

The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
I got a boy child's comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women's
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny Concheroo
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world will know
The hoochie coochie man
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Oh you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

On the seventh hours
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
He was born for good luck
And that you'll see
I got seven hundred dollars
Don't you mess with me
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

What's wrong with Muddy Waters?! i think he's great!

Cover art for (I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man lyrics by Muddy Waters

hoochie coochie can stand for a) female genitals b) (illicit) Liquor or c) (the least likely) a voodoo doctor

johnny the concheroo is the root of a relative of the common sweet potato and would be carried in a mojo bag to draw money, bring luck in games or enhance someones sexual powers. it is however also a powerfull laxative.

What a walloping refrain!

Idk whether its an attack on the woman -- ie. You want me for sex, everyone knows -- or an attack on the man -- He uses everyone for sex, he'll never be in a committed relationship; he's not capable.

Don't like this.

@anintellectual Well, seeing as your "analysis" is flat out WRONG, then we can disregard what you think of it.

This song is quite simply a brag about sexual prowess, told from an old-time, down-south, voodoo culture standpoint. Nothing more, nothing less.

The item mentioned in the second verse is "John the Conqueroot", a "magic ingredient" in a mojo hand/mojo bag, that confers these supposed powers over women.

"Mannish Boy", another Muddy Waters classic is this same song, told a slightly different way.
