Lyrics:
First verse
Mose Brown came a staggerin' home one morn, Tears in his eyes and lookin' all forlorn, His wife-y met him with such an awful frown, Said he ""My dear, now won't you please sit down and listen to me while a sad tale I relate, of de news I hear what got me in dis state, Last night I went to church and I feel so blue, What that parson say I will not tell to you:
Chorus
Oh! my Brothers and Sisters, listen to what I say By nineteen twenty dere'll be no boose sold in the U.S.A. De whole country am a goin' bone dry, Prohibition am de battle cry, ‘Scuse me while I shed a tear, For good old whiskey, gin and beer. Goodbye forever, Goodbye forever Ah got de prohibition, Prohibition, Prohibition Blues. Oh! my Brothers and Sisters, listen to what I say By nineteen twenty dere'll be no boose sold in the U.S.A. De whole country am a goin' bone dry, Prohibition am de battle cry, ‘Scuse me while I shed a tear, For good old whiskey, gin and beer. Goodbye forever, Goodbye
