Verse 1

 Well I met her on the corner of broadway

 Said she seen me coming for a mile

 Guess I should have known she was trouble

 By the hoodwink in her eye

 She said now watch my hands real careful

 But I should have been watching her feet

 Cause before I knew it, she stole my heart and my wallet

 Went running on down the street.

Chorus

 The greatest hustler of all

 Stands about four foot nine

 Made to be a moocher

Low down hoochie-coocher

 Daddy made her walk the line

Hustles with the greatest of ease

Fools any boy any time

 The greatest hustler, in all of this world

 Hustled this heart of mine

Verse 2

 Now I've been hustled on the streets of Chicago

 And the levees of New Orleans

 But I never knew a woman to work so fast

 She's what you'd call a hustling queen

 And I took her to the fair on Friday

 And we stepped into the kissing booth

 I puckered my lips, the steal me a kiss

 She went and stole my gold tooth

Chorus

Harmonica solo

(Verse Chords)

Verse 3

 Well if you see her coming this way boys better take care

 Cause she'll hustle your heart away into the air

 So fellas if your down on the corner

 She's not that hard to find

 She's the greatest hustler in all of this world

 She stands about four foot nine

Chorus

 The greatest hustler in all of this world

 Been hustling this heart of mine

Hope that's about right,
