Buddy Guy – I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man

ByEditor

Buddy Guy performs “I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man” as a tribute to 2013 Honoree Carlos Santana. The song is a blues standard written by Willie Dixon and first recorded by Muddy Waters in 1954.

The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.

Gives me goose bumps everytime that strat tone comes up! Buddy Guy never ages. He is a legend. Love Carlos Santana’s reaction!

Lyrics:
… The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
I got a boy child’s coming
He’s gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty womens
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about

… ‘Cause you know I’m here
Everybody knows I’m here
Yeah, you know I’m a hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I’m here

… I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny Concheroo
I’m gonna mess with you
I’m gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world’ll know
The hoochie coochie man

… But you know I’m here
Everybody knows I’m here
Yeah, you know I’m a hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I’m here

… On the seventh hours
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors said
He was born for good luck
And that you’ll see
I got seven hundred dollars
Don’t you mess with me

… But you know I’m here
Everybody knows I’m here
Yeah, you know I’m a hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I’m here
