Robert Wilkins Old Jim Canan's
I wished I was back : at old Jim Canan's
I'd stand on the corner : and wave my hand
And if you don't believe : that I'm a drinking man
Just baby stop by here : with the ??? can
I'm going uptown : buy me coke and beer
Coming back : and tell you how these women is
They drink their whiskey : drink their coke and gin
When you don't play the dozens : they will ease you in
The men and women : running hand and hand
Going to and fro : to old Jim Canan's
Drinking their whiskey : sniffing cocaine
That's the reason why : I wished I was back at Jim
Canan's
