Mannish Boy Lyrics
Mamma, mamma ?hasn’t / had them? take one
Ooh yeah
Whoa ooh yeah
Yeah
Everything’s gonna be alright this mornin’
Have mercy
Ow wah
Wow wowwa wowwa... hey, yeah
Hey
When I was a young boy
Round about the age of five, I think
?I had a certain kinda problem? / or ? I somethin’ in my pocket?
?People along the vocal line? / ?To keep my momma hope alive?
Now I’m a man, made 21
You know baby, we’ll have a whole lots of fun
Cause I’m a man, ?spendin’?
Hey child, yeah boy

All this time

A funky reworking of Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy" and Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man". I love it when Jimi is mimicking the guitar on his awesome solos. This is electric blues at its best, although the lyrics dont make much sense.
I thought the lyric was I’ll make love to you....always time. Instead of all this time.
