Earl Greatest Blues Songs (Cont.) (25) Lyr Add: CAN'T GET THAT STUFF NO MORE^^ 28 Dec 97


Speaking of Tampa Red, here's one of my favorites:

CAN'T GET THAT STUFF NO MORE - Tampa Red

Bootleg Sal used to love across town
The law went there and closed her down
Now you can't get the stuff no more
You can't get that stuff no more
No matter how you try you can't buy
You can't get that stuff no more

You know that place up on Dago Hill
The law took the gal and the liquor still
Now you can't…

Little Suzanne used to sell hair grease
She got in trouble with the chief of police
Now you can't…

There goes Joe with a great big knife
Somebody been messin round with his wife
Now you can't…

On State Street they used to give it away
Now you can't get it if you offer to pay
Now you can't…

All the girls used to walk the street
The law done run them off his beat
Now you can't…
