Riley & Spencer's burnin' down, Lawd there ain't no liquor in this town
No there ain't no liquor in this town
Whatcha gonna do to wet them lips when the whole darn world goes dry?
When the whole darn world goes dry
I never loved but one little girl, I'm sorry I ever loved her
I'm sorry I ever loved her
She cause me to weep, she caused me to moan, she caused me to leave my home
Lawd she cause me to leave my home
I can eat mo' chicken any gal can fry, I can tell more low down lies
I can tell more low down lies
I can tell mo' lies than the stars in the skies, I can tell more low down lies
I can tell more low down lies
Pawn my shows for a bottle o' booze, drink it and lay down and die
Lord I'll drink it and lay down and die
You can stomp them flars (flowers) down around my grave, Lawd they'll bloom and rise again
Lawd they'll bloom and rise again
Writer/s: Andrew M. Cohen, Traditional
