You know Bootleg Sally used to live across town
The law went there and they closed 'r down
Now you can't get that stuff no more
Now you can't get that stuff no more
No matter how you try, you can't buy
You know that place on Dago Hill
The law took the gal and the liquor still
Li'l Suzanne she used to sell her grease
She got in trouble with the chief o' police
There goes Joe with a great big knife
Somebody been messin' round with his wife
Now he can't get that stuff no more
Now he can't get that stuff no more
No matter how he try, he can't buy
He can't get that stuff no more
Play it!
On State Street they used to give it away
But now you can't it if you offer to pay
All of the gals used to walk the street
The law done run 'r off his beat
Ah play it...
No matter how you try, you can't buy
