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,

John Barkhausen
