Old Jim's Canan

Old Jim's Canan - Robert Wilkins/Simmie Dooley

I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd take my babe back to Old Jim Canan's

I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd take my babe back to Old Jim Canan's

I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd stand on the corner and wave my hand

Sayin' if you don't believe

That I'm a drinkin' man

Then pleasey stop

By here with your beer can

Because I wished

I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd take my babe back to Old Jim Canan's

I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd take my babe back to Old Jim Canan's

I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd take my babe back to Old Jim Canan's

I'm goin' up town buy me coke and beer

Comin' back and tell you

How these women here

They drink beer

Whiskey drink the coke and gin

When you don't pay

The double they will ease you in

Still I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd take my babe back to Old Jim Canan's

I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd take my babe back to Old Jim Canan's

I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

I'd take my babe back to Old Jim Canan's

The men and women runnin' hand in hand

Goin' to and fro to old Jim Canan's

Drinkin' beer whiskey and sniffin' ***

That's been why

I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's

And I wished I was back at Old Jim Canan's
