Come all you pretty women, with your hair a-hanging down 
                                              G 
Open up your window, cause the Candy Man's in town

Come on boys and gamble, roll those laughing bones

I come in from Memphis, where I learned to talk the jive 
                                             G 
When I get back to Memphis, be one less man alive 
                 Dm        G                Dm 
Good morning Mr. Benson, I see you're doing well 
F                                               G 
If I had me a shotgun, I'd blow you straight to hell

If you've got a dollar, Boys, lay it on the line

Hand me my old guitar, pass the whiskey and rye
