Goodbye Wild Women Goodbye! 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 06 Sep 2004

Oh, what a terrible blow,
Congress said liquor must go,
it's not the drinking
that's got me thinking,
that's not what worries me so.
I don't mind losing my pals,
but think of the beautiful gals.

After the country goes dry,
goodbye wild women goodbye!
How on earth do you expect to win 'em?
Unless you get a little bit
of good liquor in 'em,
the girlies will start to act shy,
right after the first of July;
then ev'ry night you'll see many a sinner,
taking his own little wifie to dinner,
the minute the country goes dry,
goodbye wild women goodbye!

After the country goes dry,
goodbye wild women goodbye!
How on earth do you expect to win 'em?
Unless you get a little bit
of good liquor in 'em,
the girlies will start to act shy,
right after the first of July;
They may be chic,
but just cut out their liquor,
then it's a cinch they can never get shicker,
the minute the country goes dry,
goodbye wild women goodbye!

Now it's wine, women and song
but soon you'll find it's all wrong,
when they cut wine out
you'll quickly find out,
women will follow along.
Oh, what a terrible shame,
the wild women all will grow tame.

After the country goes dry,
goodbye wild women goodbye!
How on earth do you expect to win 'em?
Unless you get a little bit
of good liquor in 'em,
the girlies will start to act shy,
right after the first of July;
then ev'ry night you'll see many a sinner,
taking his own little wifie to dinner,
the minute the country goes dry,
goodbye wild women goodbye!

After the country goes dry,
goodbye wild women goodbye!
How on earth do you expect to win 'em?
Unless you get a little bit
of good liquor in 'em,
the girlies will start to act shy,
right after the first of July;
They may be chic,
but just cut out their liquor,
then it's a cinch they can never get shicker,
the minute the country goes dry,
goodbye wild women goodbye!
