The lyrics were original, been percolating in my brain for years. it's based on the pattern of Hootchie Cootchie Man, which of course is Muddy Waters rendering of the Willie Dixon standard which falls in the the genre of "I ain't no" lyrics: I ain't no miller, ain't no miller's son, But I can do your grinding till the miller come etc. blah blah blah. But I digress.
It's not intended to rip anybody-- just years ago I heard some fellow folk junky with a degree described as an ethnofolkmusicologist.
And to Pam S: Sorry, I'm spoken for...
