“Mannish Boy” foi gravado pela primeira vez em 1955 por Muddy Waters.
O tema funciona como uma resposta (“answer song”) à faixa “I’m a Man”, de Bo Diddley, que por sua vez foi inspirada por “Hoochie Coochie Man”, de Muddy Waters e Willie Dixon.
A música apresenta um figura de stop‑time repetitiva em apenas um acorde durante toda a sua duração.
A frase repetida “I’m a man, I spell M, A, child, N” foi interpretada como um gesto político, afirmando a identidade do homem negro no contexto da migração de Waters do sul para Chicago.
