Gypsy woman told my mother ´fore I was born,
   You got a boy-childcomming gonna be son of a gun.
   Gonna make pretty womens jump and shout,
   And then the world wanna know what is 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 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 man.
  
   [chorus]
  
   [harp solo]
  
   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 hudred dollars; don´t you mess with me!
  
   [chorus]
