Parker McCollum
Prohibition Rose
[Verse 1 - Tyler Stephen McCollum]
Prohibition Rose sat on the counter
With a long day and a downer
Where's the money go this time of year?
You been a long day down the ladder
A ray of sun sure woulda' mattered
But you can see the pain and tear in her eyes
[Chorus - Both]
She said well I've paid the sheriff I've paid the beggar
The lights in the street and the old bootleggers
I'm filling people's wild and sinful dreams
Ah but where's the satisfaction for a girl like me?
[Verse 2 - Tessy Lou Williams]
Running with the light of day
Slеight of hand played out to pay
And a look and a wink left all her boys in thе dark
What a man would do to have her
What the man would do to catch her
An old cold life all this can be
So I say Rose won't you keep 'em coming to me?
[Chorus - Both]
She said well I've paid the sheriff I've paid the beggar
The lights in the street and the old bootleggers
I'm filling people's wild and sinful dreams
Ah but where's the satisfaction for a girl like me?
[Bridge - Both]
Nobody knows
Just what became of old Miss Rose
But I said Rose won't you keep 'em coming to me?
[Chorus - Both]
She said well I've paid the sheriff I've paid the beggar
The lights in the street and the old bootleggers
I'm filling people's wild and sinful dreams
Ah but where's the satisfaction
Honey where's that satisfaction
Oh where's the satisfaction for a girl like me?
