Thanks 12-stringer. Good ears! There was one correction and I filled in the blanks for you. Great job!

Lyr. ADD: GOVERNOR AL SMITH FOR PRESIDENT
Carolina Night Hawks
Sung to the tune of "Whitehouse Blues"

(Fiddle)

Down in the White House, preparing for his rest
Al and his buddies are doing their best
He'll win, bound to win

Hoover in the northland he's firing his guns;
Smith in Dixie is winning everyone.
Hard to beat, he's hard to beat.

(Fiddle)

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.

(Fiddle)

Let's nominate Al Smith, nominate I say
That he'll find it through on election day
Yes through, all the way.

He made a good governor you'll have to agree
He'll make a good president as good as can be
Yes he will, yes he will.

(Fiddle)

Let's nominate Al Smith, nominate I say
That he'll find it through on election day
Yes through, all the way.

(Fiddle)
