Gypsy woman told my momma, before I was born

You got a boy-child comin', gonna be a son-of-a-gun

Gonna make these pretty women, jump and shout

And the world will only know, a-what it's all about

Why'know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

And I'm the hoochie-coochie man

Everybody knows I'm making love tonight

On the seventh hour, of the seventh day,

On the seventh month, the seventh doctor said:

"He's born for good luck, and I know you see;

Got seven hundred dollars, and don't you mess with me

Why'know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

And I'm the hoochie-coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here

Gypsy woman told my momma

Said "Ooh, what a boy,

He gonna make so many women,

Jump and shout for joy"

Why'know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

And I'm the hoochie-coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here

Gypsy woman told my momma, before I was born

You got a boy-child comin', gonna be a son-of-a-gun

Gonna make these pretty women, jump and shout

And the world will only know, a-what it's all about

Why'know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

And I'm the hoochie-coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here

I got a black cat bone, I got a mojo too

I got John the Conqueror, I'm gonna mess with you

I'm gonna make you, pretty girl, lead me by the hand

Then the world will know, the Hoochie-Coochie Man
