| 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 |
