I've Got The Prohibition Blues 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 18 Sep 2004

I'm so thirsty that I'm blue,
Old friend booze I long for you,
I never knew that I'd miss you,
the way I do BooHoo, BooHoo.
Anheuser Busch has ceased to bloom,
now my life is filled with gloom,
my tongue's crackin' I'm so dry
since the country's gone ProHi:

I've got the Prohibition Blues
I've got the Prohibition Blues
Now when I take a drink
that sky juice at the sink,
just makes me cry and sigh
for dear old Rock and Rye;
I've got the Prohibition Blues
I've got the Prohibition Blues
in memory of beer
I'll shed a tear, a bitter tear,
all 'round the town I toddle,
I'm a molly coddle,
I've got the Prohibition Blues,
for my booze.

I've got the Prohibition Blues
I've got the Prohibition Blues
Now when I take a drink
that sky juice at the sink,
just makes me cry and sigh
for dear old Rock and Rye;
I've got the Prohibition Blues
I've got the Prohibition Blues
in memory of beer
I'll shed a tear, a bitter tear,
all 'round the town I toddle,
I'm a molly coddle,
I've got the Prohibition Blues,
for my booze.

Won't believe you've gone to stay,
Old friend Booze I grieve all day.
I'm gonna hit the hay and stay
forever and a day, I say,
Why did you let them treat you so?
Just to please old "Moll Bravo?"
My throat's achin' I'm so dry
since the country's gone ProHi:

I've got the Prohibition Blues
I've got the Prohibition Blues
Now when I take a drink
that sky juice at the sink,
just makes me cry and sigh
for dear old Rock and Rye;
I've got the Prohibition Blues
I've got the Prohibition Blues
in memory of beer
I'll shed a tear, a bitter tear,
all 'round the town I toddle,
I'm a molly coddle,
I've got the Prohibition Blues,
for my booze.

I've got the Prohibition Blues
I've got the Prohibition Blues
Now when I take a drink
that sky juice at the sink,
just makes me cry and sigh
for dear old Rock and Rye;
I've got the Prohibition Blues
I've got the Prohibition Blues
in memory of beer
I'll shed a tear, a bitter tear,
all 'round the town I toddle,
I'm a molly coddle,
I've got the Prohibition Blues,
for my booze.
