The Alcoholic Blues
Broadway Music Corporation, 1919
Maine Historical Society; gift of William David Barry, 1998
This popular song marked the beginning of national Prohibition.
The chorus:
Ive got the blues
Ive got the blues
Ive got the alcoholic blues
No more beer my heart to cheer
Goodbye whiskey, you used to make me frisky
So long high ball, so long gin.
Oh, tell me when you comin back agin?
