Raleigh and Spencer are burning down
No there ain’t no liquor in town
No there ain’t no liquor in town

Whatcha gonna do to wet them lips
When the whole darn town runs dry
When the whole darn town runs dry

I been all around this whole wide world
I been down to Memphis Tennessee
Yes I been down to Memphis Tennessee

I played cards with the kings and queens
I shot dice with old Jesse James
I shot dice with old Jesse James

I can eat more chicken than any one gal can fry
I can tell more low-down lies
I can tell more low-down lies

I can tell more lies than there’re stars in the sky
And I ain’t going to heaven when I die
No I ain’t going to heaven when I die

I’d trade my shoes for one bottle of booze
I’d drink it I’d lay down and die
Yes I’d drink it I’d lay down and die

You can stomp down all the flowers that’ll grow round my grave
But they’ll rise and bloom again
Yes they’ll rise and bloom again
