Where'd you get your whiskey?
Where'd you get your rum
I got it down on front street
At number ninety-nine

Ain't it gone, gone, gone
Ain't it long gone
Ain't gone, gone, gone
Way down on the river road

I'm riding on a street car
Looking for the town
Eating salt cracker
Five bucks a pound

Ain't it gone, gone, gone
Ain't it long gone
Ain't gone, gone, gone
Way down on the river road

Going to Paducah
Just to look around
If things don't suit me
I'll find another town

Ain't it gone, gone, gone
Ain't it long gone
Ain't gone, gone, gone
Way down on the river road
