Mannish Boy lyrics
by Muddy Waters
[Intro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Everythin' gonna be alright this mornin'
[Verse 1]
Now when I was a young boy at the age of five
My mother said I'm gonna be the greatest man alive
But now I'm a man, I made 21
I want you to believe me honey, we'll have a lots of fun
[Chorus]
I'm a man (yeah!)
I spelled M, A child, N
That represents man (yeah!)
No B, O child, Y
That spell mannish boy
But a man (yeah)
I'm a full grown man (right)
I'm a man (yeah)
I'm a rollin' stone (woo)
I'm a man (yeah)
I'm a hoochie coochie man
[Verse 2]
Sittin' on the outside, just me and my mate
I made the moon come up two hours late
[Chorus]
Wasn't that a man
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 (yeah)
Full grown man
Oh well, oh well
