Lyrics for Public Domain

Our lowly liquor Lobby longs to back a road To old time songs. Biblebelts worn from here And after all were Born in the know. So rally round awhile Jim Crow for I thought I'd like to show They can recall The Alamo way down In old Mexico. I left Academia Amid sixty-two. Was it sixty-one scholar Was cooled from the U. Doubtless more on sore Wing than prayer I up and just withdrew To the wander round there.
