Lyrics Straight Alky Blues, Pt. 1 - Leroy Carr

I went down to Smith Street to buy some alkyhol

I told them to cut it with water

But they didn't put in a drop at all

I drank my strait alky and I went on up the street

I drank my strait alky and walked on up the street

But my eyes saw double

They could not steer my feet

Oh this alkyhol is killing me

A doctor says if I don't quit it

In a lonely graveyard I will be

Alky's alright to drink but it gets you so lowdown

As soon as I get straight

I'm going to leave this bad luck town
