Mannish Boy (with Muddy Waters) Songtext
von The Band

Ooohhh Yeah! Oh Yeah.

Everythin′, everythin', everythin′s gonna be alright this mornin'
Ooh yeah, whoo


Now when I was a young boy, at the age of five
My mother say I was, gonna be the greatest man alive
But now I'm a man, way past 21
Want you to believe me woman,
I had lot′s of fun
I′m a man
I spell M, A, child N
That represent man
No B, [no] O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
Man, yeah
I'm a full grown man
Man
I′m a natural born lovers man
Man
I'm a rollin′ stone
Man
I'm a hoochie coochie man

Sittin′ on the outside, just me and my mate
You know I'm made to move honey,
come up two hours late
Wasn't that a man
I spell M, A child, N
That represent I′m grown
No B, O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
Man, [yeah]
I′m a full grown man
Man
I'm a natural born lovers man
Man
I′m a rollin' stone
Man, [yeah]
I′m a hoochie coochie man


Well, well, well, well,
The line I shoot will never miss
When I make love to a girl,
she can't resist
I think I go down,
to old Kansas Stew
I′m gonna bring back my second cousin,
that little Johnny Cocheroo
All you little girls,
sittin'out at that line
I can make love to you girl,
in five minutes time
Ain't that a man [yeah]
I spell M, A child, N
That represent man
No B [no], O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
Man
I′m a full grown man
Man
I′m a natural born lovers man
Man
I'm a rollin′ stone
Man-child
I'm a hoochie coochie man

well, well, well, well
well, well, well, well
well, well, well, well
hurry

Robertson: Wasn′t that a man; Muddy Waters!
