Rev. Gary Davis - Candy Man Lyrics

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
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer
Run get the pitcher, get the baby some beer

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
