Lyrics
Chorus
After the country goes dry
Goodbye, wild women, goodbye
How on earth do you expect to win ’em?
Unless you get a little bit of good liqour in ’em?
The girlies will start to act shy
Right after the first of July
Then ev’ry night you’ll see many a sinner
Taking his own little wifie to dinner
The minute the country goes dry
Goodbye, wild women, goodbye
Chorus
After the country goes dry
Goodbye, wild women, goodbye
How on earth do you expect to win ’em?
Unless you get a little bit of good liqour in ’em?
The girlies will start to act shy
Right after the first of July
They may be chic, but just cut our their liqour
Then it’s a cinch they can never get “shicker”
The minute the country goes dry
Goodbye, wild women, goodbye
