Mississippi John Hurt
Candy Man [1966]
All you ladies gather 'round
The good sweet candy man's in town
Candy man
Candy man
He's got a stick of candy that's nine inch long
He sells as fast 'a hog can chew his corn
Candy man
Candy man
All heard what sister Johnson said
She always takes a candy stick to bed
Candy man
Candy man
Oh, his stick candy don't melt away
It just gets better, so the ladies say
Candy man
Candy man
Yes, don't stand close to the candy man
He leaves a stick of candy in your hand
Candy man
Sweet candy man
Yes, you and the candy man, you're gettin' mighty sticky
Mm-hmm
Uh-uh
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah
I said, "You and the candy man, you're gettin' mighty sticky, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm!"
You must be stuck on the candy man's stick
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
