Chicago Lightning

Ole Chicago Lightning

Sinners back in town

I Ain’t no Prohibition man

So pass the hooch around

Ole Chicago Lightning

Trouble on its way

I Best put down that second round

‘For the fuzz blow me away

No No No No

Lord can’t save my soul

Down me a river, in bathtub gin

Merely I’ll go

No No No No

The Big House I’ll be gone’

Ole Booze Hound, Howling at the moon

Till the early break of dawn

Ole Chicago Lightning

Top shelf ossified

Flappers dance and the dandys prance

When the gin joint comes alive

Ole Chicago Lightning

Wanted wet or dry

Teetotaler preach, coppers sneak

Let the Rotgut keep me high

No No No No

Lord can’t save my soul

Down me a river, in bathtub gin

Merely I’ll go

No No No No

The Big House I’ll be gone’

Ole Booze Hound, Howling at the moon

Till the early break of dawn

Ole Chicago Lightning

Sheba’s I adore

Clock strike one, till the blind pig done

Lovin’ me till the morn’

Ole Chicago Lightning

Skid row I go

Need no prayer the buck stop here

Devil moon take me home

Devil moon take me home

Devil moon take me home

No No No No

Lord can’t save my soul

Till I die, I bide my time

Let the moonshine flow

No No No No

To my grave below

Lightnin’ come, my day is done

Devil moon take me home

Devil moon take me home
