Canteen Blues Lyrics - Singles - E.c. Davis

Chorus 

Canteen Blues 

I got the Canteen Blues 

My baby sued 

Down to my tennis shoes 

She got drunk lord 

And wrecked her car 

Sued my ass 

And now she's got my bar 

Passed a law the other day 

patron get's drunk 

You gotta pay 

Get's in his car 

And has a wreck 

Damn crazy but it's your neck 

Law once said when your 21 

Big guy now you can shoot a gun 

Also says you can drink and smoke 

New law's passed 

That made it a joke 

Chorus 

Tavern owners you better beware 

Drunk leaves your bar 

It's your hair 

Next thing you know 

They'll pass a new law 

Give a party 

Your left holding the ball 

What did I tell you a verse ago 

Heard the news on the radio 

If a guest get's drunk 

Damn lock the door 

He get's busted 

And you'll get yours 

Chorus 

Morality moms must be 

Passing these laws 

Screwing with business 

Especially the bars 

What ever happened 

To the land of the free 

You get drunk 

They're gonna stomp on me 

Chorus (repeat 2 times) 

Last time repeat She got drunk----
