Hustlin' Dan (07-22-30) |
Listen sportin' fellas, all you brown and black girls too |
Tell you 'bout a black man, best that ever wore a shoe |
Hustlin' Dan, he was my man |
Talk about your lover, he can more than satisfy me |
Master of my weakness, everything a man could be |
Hustlin' Dan, oh he’s my man |
He was one good gambler, he would gamble anywhere |
Knows the game and plays it, always plays it on the square |
Hustlin' Dan, yes he’s my man |
Yes he was a hustler, round us calls him Hustlin' Da |
Born down on the levee, was a rough and tumble man |
Hustlin' Dan, mmm he’s my man |
He got sick one mornin', just about the break of day |
Jesus was upon him, had to send my man away |
Hustlin' Dan, he was my man |
While he was in Dimsville, spendin' money all the time |
Prayed to the Lord above me, «Please don' take that man o' mine |
Hustlin' Dan, Lord he’s my man!» |
Since he’s gone and left me, bought myself a big forty four |
Gonna join my good man, I don’t wanna live no more |
Hustlin' Dan, Lord he’s my man |
