Your Man
Willie Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I was born
I got a boy child's comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women's
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the
Hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him
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 will know
The hoochie coochie man
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Oh you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him
On the seventh hours
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
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 him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him
The lyrics in Willie Jones's song "Your Man" are actually a reference to the classic blues song "Hoochie Coochie Man," originally performed by the legendary blues musician Muddy Waters in 1954. In "Hoochie Coochie Man," the singer claims to have been ushered into the world as a powerful figure who will make all the pretty women swoon. He then lists off various items and spells that give him strength and authority, before declaring himself as the titular "Hoochie Coochie Man," a term that had connotations of sexual prowess and magical power.
In Willie Jones's song, the references to the "Hoochie Coochie Man" are woven in with a contemporary love song. Instead of just proclaiming himself as a powerful force, Willie Jones is using the lyrics as an analogy for his ability to charm and impress his romantic interest. The lines about having a "boy child's comin'" and being "born for good luck" are used to establish his innate gifts of charisma and charm, while the references to black cat bones and spells are meant to suggest that he has a kind of supernatural magnetism.
Overall, the lyrics of "Your Man" are a clever subversion of the classic blues themes of power, sexuality, and magic. By reinterpreting these ideas in a modern love song, Willie Jones is making a statement about his own ability to channel the musical traditions of the past into a contemporary context.
