We Don't Sell It Here No More

歌詞

Came to town this morning feeling awfully dry Cold and tired this morning thirsty ain't no lie Went to my old hangout, thought I'd buy a drink My old pal said, "Get out, this place ain't what you think" Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Sigh if you please, shed bitter tears A pint will never cause me to do five years Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more My best pal is on his way He's going to the pen and he's gone to stay We don't sell it here no more I mean, oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more I went to a dance, wanted to scream Instead of selling gin they sold ice cream Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Our good times we're gonna miss I never thought gin would be scarce as this We don't sell it here no more I mean, oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Uncle Jim's sick, he made his will Can't get no stuff from Aunt Jane's still Oh she don't sell it there no more Oh she don't sell it there no more Now I can't find no booze nowhere All the bootleggers are catching air Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Sign on the nightclub on Broadway Closed by the law and closed to stay They won't sell it there no more They won't sell it there no more At the old speakeasy, hole in the wall Scared to death, they don't talk at all Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Went to the place where I used to buy Old bootlegger began to cry Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more Can't sell white corn, can't sell red Gotta sell plain ginger ale instead Oh we don't sell it here no more Oh we don't sell it here no more
