Hoochie Coochie Man
Hoochie Coochie Man: Mystical Blues Revelations
Lyrics
Gypsy woman told my mother 'fore I was born,
Gypsy woman predicted my birth to my mother
You got a boy-child coming, gonna be a son of a gun
Her prediction indicated I'd be exceptional or trouble
Gonna make pretty women's jump and shout,
My presence will excite and captivate beautiful women
And then the world want to know what this all about
The world will be curious about the impact I have
But you know I'm here
I am present
Everybody knows I'm here
It's widely acknowledged and recognized that I'm present
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Identifying oneself as a skilled or influential figure
Everybody knows I'm here
General acknowledgment of my presence and reputation
I got the black cat bone and I got a mojo tooth
I possess items believed to bring luck or power (superstitions)
I got the John the Conqueror root, gonna mess with you
Using mystical objects to influence or affect others
I'm gonna make you girls lead me by my hand,
Asserting control over women
And then the world will know the hoochie coochie man
My actions will establish my identity as the 'hoochie coochie man'
But you know I'm here
Reiteration of my presence
Everybody knows I'm here
General acknowledgement of my presence
Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man
Reaffirmation of being the 'hoochie coochie man'
Everybody knows I'm here
General acknowledgment of my identity as the 'hoochie coochie man'
On the seventh hour, on the seventh day,
Highlighting the significance of specific timings
On the seventh month, seven doctors say,
Emphasizing multiple confirmations of auspiciousness
"He was born for good luck, that you'll see"
Confirming a destiny or predisposition for good fortune
I got seven hundred dollars; don't you mess with me!
Asserting power through wealth and warning against defiance
