Coon Can Shorty Lyrics & Chords By Peetie Wheatstraw

Well now, they call me Coon Can Shorty

The man from Coon Can Land

Yeah now, they call me Coon Can Shorty

The man from Coon Can Land

Well, I'm known to play the man

Hoo-well-well, the game they call Coon Can

My dice won't pass

Cards it only game you see

I said, my dice won't pass

Cards is the only the only game you see

An ev'ry chump in town

Hoo-well-well, seems to fall out on me

My babe give me money

Coon Can Shorty is my name

I said, my babe give me money

Coon Can Shorty is my name

A-before I lose her money

Hoo-well, I will spread dueces until I begin

But someday my dice gon' pass

An my money gon' be on the wood

Hm-hm-um-well, my money gon' be on the wood

Any chump in town

Hoo-hoo-well, they ain't gon' be no good

Some say they will coon the devil

If you chain him down

Some said they will coon the devil

If you chain him down

But now you know how good his sound

Ooo-well-well, if you come in this town.
