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:
Well I [C]met her on the corner of broadway
Said she seen me coming for a [F]mile
Guess I should have known she was trou[C]ble
By the ho[C7]odwink in her [G]eye
She said now [C]watch my hands real careful
But I should have been watching her f[F]eet
Cause before I knew it, she stole my [C]heart and my wallet
Went [G]running on down the [C]street.[C7]
Chorus:
The [F]greatest hustler of all
S[C]tands about four foot nine
M[G]ade to be a moocher
Low down hoochie-coocher
Daddy made her walk the [C]line
[F]Hustles with the greatest of ease
[C]Fools any boy any time
The [F]greatest hustler, in [C]all of this world
Hustled this [F]heart of [C]mine
Verse 2:
Now I've been [C]hustled on the streets of Chicago
And the levees of New Or[F]leans
But I never knew a woman to work so f[C]ast
She's what you'd [C7]call a hustling [G]queen
And I [C]took her to the fair on Friday
And we stepped into the kissing [F]booth
I puckered my lips, the [C]steal me a kiss
She went and stole [G]my gold [C]tooth[C7]
Chorus
Harmonica solo
(Verse Chords)
Verse 3:
Well [C]if you see her coming this way boys better take care
Cause she'll hustle your heart away into the [F]air
So [C]fellas if your down on the corner
She's not that hard to [F]find
She's the greatest hustler in [C]all of this world
She stands about [G]four foot [C]nine[C7]
Chorus
The [F]greatest hustler in [C]all of this world
Been hustling this [F]heart of [C]mine
Hope that's about right,
John Barkhausen
