Subject: Mr. Crump Don't Like It
This seems like a Prohibition-era, kinda juke-joint typa song.

A duo called Magpie used to (or may still) perform this. It also was on an album by a guy named Andy Cohen.

The lyrics are something like:

Mr. Crump don't like it, ain't gonna have it here (3x)
No barrelhouse women, no whiskey or beer
Mr. Crump don't like it, ain't gonna have it here

Well, the Methodist sister jumped up an' commence to shout (3x)
Said "I'm so glad that the whiskey's ordered out." (?)
Mr. Crump don't like it, ain't gonna have it here

Well, the Presbyterian sister jump up and commence to grin (3x)
Said "Drunk last week, but no more gin,"
Mr. Crump don't like it, ain't gonna have it here

Any information would be appreciated.
