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
And then the world wanna know what this all about

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

I got the black cat bone and I got a mojo tooth
I got the john the conqueror 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 man

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

On 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 me!
