Verse 2

I like small towns and the people there. Easier money than welfare.

What does it take to get a handout? A sucker to trust you without a doubt.

But they need me and I need them, we’re all red-blooded working men.

Good or bad, where do I stand? Between the devil and a dollar is a confidence man.

Chorus

It’s a confidence gDame, I’m a confidence mEman. Sure as I wCin, sure as I sDtand.

Tell you what I Emam, honest I aiCn’t. Stab you in the bDack, smiling like a sEmaint.

Confidence mCan in a confidence gDame, I’ll leave you with nEmothing but your sChame.

Your mama wDarned about a confidence gEmame, she’s been taCken in just the sDame – by a

confidence mDan. Em C D

Verse 3

When the market dies like it always does everybody’s pockets are lighter than they was.

Evrybody’s mad everybody’s pissed They can’t believe that they were taken by a scam like this

Still they can’t even understand, how they got swindled by an ordinary man

They pay the price, that’s why I came, to make ‘em all losers in a confidence game.

Chorus
