I looked and looked for this song online, but I couldn't find it so I thought I would try my hand at posting a TAB. Here it goes. Listen to the song for the picking and the timing, which is a little strange in some spots. Verse 1:

       C
Well I met her on the corner of broadway

                              F
Said she seen me coming for a mile

                                      C
Guess I should have known she was trouble

         C7            G
By the hoodwink in her eye

             C
She said now watch my hands real careful

                                     F
But I should have been watching her feet

                                     C
Cause before I knew it, she stole my heart and my wallet

     G                   C         C7
Went running on down the street.

Chorus:

    F
The greatest hustler of all

 C
Stands about four foot nine

 G
Made to be a moocher

Low down hoochie-coocher

                        C
Daddy made her walk the line

F
Hustles with the greatest of ease

C
Fools any boy any time

    F                    C
The greatest hustler, in all of this world

             F        C
Hustled this heart of mine

Verse 2:

              C
Now I've been hustled on the streets of Chicago

                        F
And the levees of New Orleans

                                     C
But I never knew a woman to work so fast

                 C7              G
She's what you'd call a hustling queen

      C
And I took her to the fair on Friday

                                F
And we stepped into the kissing booth

                        C
I puckered my lips, the steal me a kiss

                   G       C      C7
She went and stole my gold tooth

Chorus Harmonica solo (Verse Chords) Verse 3:

     C
Well if you see her coming this way boys better take care

                                             F
Cause she'll hustle your heart away into the air

   C
So fellas if your down on the corner

                       F
She's not that hard to find

                              C
She's the greatest hustler in all of this world

                 G         C     C7
She stands about four foot nine

Chorus

    F                   C
The greatest hustler in all of this world

                   F        C
Been hustling this heart of mine

Hope that's about right, John Barkhausen
