I looked and looked for this song online, but I couldn't find it so I thought I
would try my hand at posting a TAB. Here it goes.
Listen to the song for the picking and the timing, which is a little strange in some spots.
Verse 1:
C
Well I met her on the corner of broadway
F
Said she seen me coming for a mile
C
Guess I should have known she was trouble
C7 G
By the hoodwink in her eye
C
She said now watch my hands real careful
F
But I should have been watching her feet
C
Cause before I knew it, she stole my heart and my wallet
G C C7
Went running on down the street.
Chorus:
F
The greatest hustler of all
C
Stands about four foot nine
G
Made to be a moocher
Low down hoochie-coocher
C
Daddy made her walk the line
F
Hustles with the greatest of ease
C
Fools any boy any time
F C
The greatest hustler, in all of this world
F C
Hustled this heart of mine
Verse 2:
C
Now I've been hustled on the streets of Chicago
F
And the levees of New Orleans
C
But I never knew a woman to work so fast
C7 G
She's what you'd call a hustling queen
C
And I took her to the fair on Friday
F
And we stepped into the kissing booth
C
I puckered my lips, the steal me a kiss
G C C7
She went and stole my gold tooth
Chorus
Harmonica solo
(Verse Chords)
Verse 3:
C
Well if you see her coming this way boys better take care
F
Cause she'll hustle your heart away into the air
C
So fellas if your down on the corner
F
She's not that hard to find
C
She's the greatest hustler in all of this world
G C C7
She stands about four foot nine
Chorus
F C
The greatest hustler in all of this world
F C
Been hustling this heart of mine
Hope that's about right,
