Papa Charlie Jackson - We Can't Buy It No More lyrics

Things getting tight in this town All the bootleggers are closing down Because we can't buy it, we can't buy it Town's gettin' dry, we can't buy it no more I went 'cross town, is where I used to stay The guy hasn't got no liquor today Because we can't buy it, we can't buy it Town's gettin' dry, we can't buy it no more Now the bootleggers cryin', packin' their things Everywhere you go you can hear them sing Because we can't buy it, we can't buy it Town's gettin' dry, we can't buy it no more I'd buy a drink, mama, just for you But thirty-five years will never do Because we can't buy it, we can't buy it Town's gettin' dry, we can't buy it no more I used to get it for 25 cents a pint Now they closin' all the moonshine joints Because we can't buy it, now we can't buy it Town's gettin' dry, we can't buy it no more Now it t'ain't no used to weep, t'ain't no used to wail If you bought some of the hooch you're going to jail Because we can't buy it, we can't buy it Town's gettin' dry, we can't buy it no more All the bootleggers going to get a job They gonna join that everyday workin' mob Because we can't buy it, we can't buy it Town's gettin' dry, we can't buy it no more I like my whiskey, like my wine But I can't pay no ten thousand dollar fine Because we can't buy it, we can't buy it Town's gettin' dry, we can't buy it no more
