From: stephens@execpc.com

Candy man, been here and gone,
Candy man, been here and gone,
Candy man, salty dog,
If you can't be my candy man, you can't be my salty dog.

Candy man, candy man,
Candy man, fattin' hog,
Candy man, Santa Claus,
If you can't be my candy man, can't be my fattin' hog.

Candy man, candy man,
Candy man, been here and gone,
Candy man, salty dog,
I wish I was in New Orleans, sitting on the candy stand.

Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer, (6X)
I'd give anything in this god almighty world to get my candy man home.

Candy man, salty dog,
Candy man, fattin' hog,
Candy man, salty dog,
If you can't be my candy man, you can't be my man at all.

From Rev. Gary Davis/Blues Guitar, Oak Publications,
ISBN:0-8256-0152-5, by Stefan Grossman.
