SAM THE HOT DOG MAN
Lil Johnson   1936


Lil Johnson   rec April 22nd 1936



I', goin' down south, In Alabam',
Lookin' for a man by the name of Sam;
He's got good hot dog,
Oh he's got good hot dog,
Oh he's got good hot dog,
Honey in his hot dog van!

You can drink your coffee, eat your jelly roll,
But if you take Sam's hot dog it'll satisfy your soul!
'Cause he's got good hot dog,
Oh he's got good hot dog,
Oh he's got good hot dog,
Honey in his hot dog van!

Sam makes a-plenty o' money and he spends it fast,
Women don't do nothin' but sit on their yas, yas, yas!
And wait for Sam's hot dog,
Oh, they wait for Sam's hot dog,
Oh, they wait for Sam's hot dog,
Honey in his hot dog van!

Yes he's got good hot dog,
And I don't mean a weeny!

Sam's got the best hot dog in this town,
I like the way he serves it, he goes round and round!
Baby, with his hot dog,
Baby, with his hot dog,
Baby, with his hot dog,
Honey in his hot dog van!

When you get enough hot dog, stop and rest awhile;
If you want any more, Sam will serve you with a smile!
Baby, with his hot dog,
Baby, with his hot dog,
Baby, with his hot dog,
Honey in his hot dog van!

He's at my house last night and brought me one,
I'm wild about his hot dog, the son of a gun!
I'm wild about his hot dog,
I'm wild about his hot dog,
Oh, I'm wild about his hot dog,
Honey in his hot dog van!


Late last night, 'bout half past twelve,
Women down at Sam's, they was raisin' hell!
Just about his hot dog,
Just about his hot dog,
Just about his hot dog,
Honey in his hot dog van!
