Speakeasy Blues

There’s a preacher on the corner
You know he feels it too
He never would admit it but he’s got
The Speakeasy Blues

Single girls in fancy dresses
Put on their dancing shoes
When the sun goes down on Friday they all got
The Speakseasy Blues

Ooooh, Oooooooooh
Speakeasy Blues

Voting dry but drinking wet
That’s what folks around here do
The sheriff gets elected but you know he’s got
The Speakseasy Blues

Pouring out the liquor
In the year of 22
Don’t you know those revenuers had it ‘em too
The Speakseasy Blues

Ooooh, Oooooooooh
Speakeasy Blues

The government passed a law
What’s body supposed to do
A man needs a dram when he’s got
The Speakseasy Blues

There’s a coil that’s made of copper
Making 140 proof
Uncle Junior by the fire with the old
Speakseasy Blues

Ooooh, Oooooooooh
Speakeasy Blues
Ooooh, Oooooooooh
Speakeasy Blues
