about

Muddy Waters wrote a response song to Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man". this is my barebones cover

lyrics

Now when I was a young boy/the age of five/My mother told me/gonna be the greatest man alive/Now I'm a man, way past 21/Want you to believe me baby/I had lot's of fun

I'm a man/I spell m/a child/n/That represents man
No B/O child/Y/That mean mannish boy

I'm a man/I'm a full grown man/I'm a man/I'm a natural born lovers man/I'm a man/I'm a rollin' stone/I'm a man/I'm a hoochie coochie man

Sittin' on the outside/just me and my mate/You know I made the moon honey/come up two hours late

I think I'll go down/to old Kansas too/bring back my second cousin/john the conquerer root/All you little girls/sittin'out at that line/I can make love to you/woman/in five minutes time
Ain't that a man
I spell mmm, aaa child, nnn
That represents man
No B, 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
I'm a man-child
I'm a hoochie coochie man
