You hear people shouting, "No booze!" they say, It's running free now, you can get it any day, From bootleggers and killers too
The sugar that they make now will make you bounce around The brandy too will put you flat on the ground Bad stuff, hard to drink
(Fiddle)
I won't be long now 'till she will be free Then they'll make corn liquor as pure as can be Free from lye and sugar too.
When booze went out, we didn't think then That we would ever get together back again She's coming back, back again.
