(Mississippi John Hurt)
Well all you ladies gather 'round
That good sweet candy man's in town
It's the candy man
It's the candy man
He likes a stick of candy just nine inch long1
He sells as fast a hog can chew his corn
It's the candy man...
All heard what sister Johnson said
She always takes a candy stick to bed
Don't stand close to the candy man
He'll leave a big candy stick in your hand
He sold some candy to sister Bad
The very next day she took all he had
If you try his candy, good friend of mine,
You sure will want it for a long long time
His stick candy don't melt away
It just gets better, so the ladies say

Little Feat è un gruppo rock statunitense formatosi a Los Angeles nel 1969 da Lowell George (cantautore, cantante e chitarrista) e Bill Payne (tastierista). La band ha saputo mescolare influenze blues, R and B, country, funk e rock and roll in un sound originale e riconoscibile. Tra i brani più famosi si ricordano "Dixie Chicken", "Willin'" e "Fat Man in the Bathtub". Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo nel 1979, a seguito della morte di George, Little Feat è tornato a esibirsi nove anni dopo, continuando ad incidere nuovi album fino ad oggi. Tra gli album più importanti si annovera "Waiting for Columbus" (1978), considerato un classico del rock americano.
