Hustlin' Dan - Original |
| 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 |
