Sam the Hot Dog Man (Blues Song)

**Sam the Hot Dog Man (Blues Song)** *(In the style of 1929)* **Verse 1** Well, I knew a man named Sam, he sold hot dogs down the lane, Yes, I knew a man named Sam, sold hot dogs down the lane, Every time I walked by, he’d call out my name. **Chorus** Sam the Hot Dog Man, with a smile so wide, Sam the Hot Dog Man, keepin' folks satisfied, He’d holler and he’d laugh, and he’d serve 'em up with pride. **Verse 2** When the sun was high and the workday was done, When the sun was high, workday was done, We’d gather 'round old Sam, havin' so much fun. **Chorus** Sam the Hot Dog Man, with a smile so wide, Sam the Hot Dog Man, keepin' folks satisfied, He’d holler and he’d laugh, and he’d serve 'em up with pride. **Bridge** Well, you’d hear him singin’, “Come and get your treat,” Well, you’d hear him singin’, “Come and get your treat,” A hot dog in your hand, life just felt so sweet. **Verse 3** But one cold night, Sam didn’t show, Oh, that one cold night, Sam didn’t show, We all felt a chill, like the wind did blow. **Chorus** Sam the Hot Dog Man, where did you go? Sam the Hot Dog Man, we miss you so, Your laughter and your cheer, now the nights feel slow. **Verse 4** Now we gather ‘round, no hot dogs in sight, Now we gather ‘round, no hot dogs in sight, Rememberin' old Sam, under the streetlight. **Chorus** Sam the Hot Dog Man, with a smile so wide, Sam the Hot Dog Man, keepin' folks satisfied, He’d holler and he’d laugh, and he’d serve 'em up with pride. **Outro** Sam the Hot Dog Man, you were the best in town, Sam the Hot Dog Man, now you’re not around, But your spirit lives on, in every corner and sound.
