Gypsy woman told my mother, 'fore I was born
You got a boy-child coming, gonna be a son of a gun
Gonna make pretty womens jump and shout
Then the world wanna know what this all aboutBut you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm hereI got the black cat bone and I got a mojo tooth
I got the John the conquerer root, gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls lead me by my hand
And then the world will know the hoochie coochie manBut you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm hereOn the seventh hour, on the seventh day
On the seventh month, seven doctors say
"He was born for good luck, that you'll see"
I got seven hundred dollars, don't you mess with meBut you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here
