  • The gypsy woman told my mama
    On the day I was born
    Oh, you got a boy child comin'
    Oh, Lord, he's gonna be a son of a gun
    He's gonna make those pretty women
    You know, he's gonna make 'em jump and shout
    The whole wide world gonna wonder
    What it's all about

    Yeah, you know I'm here
    And everybody knows I'm here
    I'm your Hoochie Coochie man
    Oh, Lord, everybody knows I'm here

    I got a black cat bone
    Lord I got a mojo too
    I got little John, the conquered
    Oh baby, I'm gonna mess with you
    I'm gonna grab those pretty women
    I'm gonna grab 'em by the hand
    You know, the whole wide world gonna know
    Oh Lord, I'm your Hoochie Coochie man
    Yes, you know I'm here
    Everybody knows I'm here

    On the seventh hour
    Oh Lord, on the seventh day
    I tell you on the seventh month, child
    Hey, the seven doctors say
    Now, he was born for luck
    I said, baby, don't you see
    I got seven hundred dollars darlin'
    Don't you mess with me

    Because I'm here
    Everybody, everybody knows I'm here
    I'm your Hoochie Coochie man
    Hey, I tell you, everybody knows I'm here Writer/s: Willie Dixon
