Raleigh And Spencer Lyrics

Raleigh and Spencer burned it down
Now there ain't no liquor in this town
No there ain't no liquor in this town
How you gonna wet those sweet ruby lips
When this whole damn world's gone dry?
When this whole damn world's gone dry?

I've been all around this great wide world
And I've been down to Memphis, Tennessee
Yes I've been down to Memphis Tennessee
And I played them cards with the kings and queens
And ran with Jesse James
Played cards with Jesse James

[CHORUS]

I can eat more chicken than one man can fry
And I'll tell your boy dirty low down lies
Yes I'll tell your boy low down lies
Oh lies, more lies than there's stars in the sky
And I'll never get to heaven when I die
No I'll never get to heaven when I die

[CHORUS]

I would trade my shoes for a gallon of booze
Then I'd drink it down then I'd die
Yes I'd drink it down then I 'd die
You can stomp down the flowers that grow round my grave
But surprise they all bloom once again
Yeah surprise, they'll bloom again!

[CHORUS]
