Mannish Boy is a 1956 track by Muddy Waters and one of his best known hits.

Zappa played Waters' rendition of this song with Johnny Winter's band accompanying him, as a guest DJ on WPIX, New York (19 November 1979) and again on the same channel on 20 November. He also played the song during Star Special (1980), on BBC Radio 1 and called it "a refreshing rendition".
