Mannish Boy (1955) Songtext
von Muddy Waters

Oh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Everythin′ gon' be alright this mornin′

Now when I was young boy
At the age of five
My mother said I'ma be
The greatest man alive

But now I'm a man
I made 21
I want you to believe me, honey
We′re having lots of fun

I′m a man (yeah)
I spell M, A, child, N
That represents man (yeah)
No B, O, child, Y
That spell mannish boy


I'm a man (yeah)
I′m a full grown man (oh, yeah)
I'm a man (yeah)
I′m a rollin' stone (woo)
I′m a man (yeah)
I'm a hoochie coochie man

Sittin' on the outside
Just me and my maid
I make the moon
Come up two hours late (yeah)

Wasn′t that a man (yeah)
I spell M, A, child, N
That represents man (yeah)
No B, O, child, Y
That spell mannish boy

I′m a man (yeah)
I'm a full grown man (woo)
I′m a man (yeah)
I'm a rollin′ stone (woo)
I'm a man
A full grown man

Oh, well
Oh, well
