Lyrics[edit]
- Chasin' after that liquid gold
- Born in this town, but been here and there
- The "road less travelled" kinda guy
- But though the waters stay fast and, oh, so free
- I ain't never seen mouths this dry
- Yet the common man will find his fix
- Whether morphine or creosole
- But there's one sure way to get 'em ossified
- You gotta dig up that liquid gold
- (Dig it up, dig it up)
- Time's a wastin', friend, can't spare a minute
- (Chasin' after that liquid gold)
- Take a big inhale o' those St. Lou' spirits
- (We'd rather get it than ever get old)
- You can speak easy, chums, it'll be all right
- (Chasin' after that liquid gold)
- So take a swig for your courage and we'll own tonight
- (We'd rather get it than ever get old)
- I took roads not taken, met Little Daisy
- And the secrets that she hides
- But it ain't been easy for dear Miss M
- Since the man that she loved died
- So it's up to us to find the entertainment
- To keep ourselves brave and bold
- And what better way to show our gallantry
- Than to dig for that liquid gold?
- (Dig it up, dig it up)
- I said time's a wastin', cousin, can't spare a minute
- (Chasin' after that liquid gold)
- Feel the vibes in the air o' those St. Lou' spirits
- (We'd rather get it than ever get old)
- We can speak easy, chums, we'll keep out of sight
- (Chasin' after that liquid gold)
- So take a swig for your courage and we'll own tonight
- (We'd rather get it than ever get old)
- (Now the extravagance and show of this sordid affair
- Will nary spoil the ambiance of the Mississippi air
- And if thine eyes shall fall and rest on the scene
- Then pay no mind, friend, merely greasing the machine
- I've had run-ins with rumrunners and rubes
- But it's never bothered me none, just a normal afternoon
- So if you're keen to listen, here's an offer I'll propose
- Let me work and I'll provide you with a touch o' that gold!)
- Time's a wastin', friend, can't spare a minute
- (Chasin' after that liquid gold)
- And there's no sweeter smell than the St. Lou' spirits
- (We'd rather get it than ever get old)
- We're speakin' easy, friends, we're on a bootlegger's flight
- (Chasin' after that liquid gold)
- We'll take a swig for our courage and we'll own tonight
- (We'd rather get it than ever get old)
- So take a swig for your courage and we'll own tonight
- We're gonna dig up that liquid gold
