Robin Shaylor / syslabs@teleport.com Lyr Req: Prohibition Is a Failure (8) Prohibition Is a Failure 11 Sep 99


The New Lost City Ramblers recorded the subject tune some 40 years ago which celebrates the return to sanity folllowing the repeal of the prohibition. Well, the Feds apparently learned how to sustain an unwinnable, insane, immoral assault if the current War On Drugs is any indication.

I was pondering how history is repeating itself (and how) and decided to pull out my old NLCR LPs. Yep, you guessed it - someone just erased it offa all those disks.

Can anyone help me remember any of the lyrics beyond "Prohibition is a failure, as anyone can see; we'll have light wines and good old beer in 1933".
