Raleigh and Spencer 
Raleigh and Spencer are burning down Lord, there ain't no liquor in town No, there ain't no liquor in town What you gonna do to wet those lips When this whole darn world's gone dry? When this whole darn world's gone dry? 
I've been all around this whole wide world I've been down to Memphis, Tennessee I've been down to Memphis, Tennessee I've played cards with the king and the queen Shot them dice with old Jesse James Shot them dice with old Jesse James 
I can eat more chicken than any one gal can fry I can tell more lowdown lies I can tell more lowdown lies I can tell more lies than the stars in the skies I'll never get to heaven when I die No, I'll never get to heaven when I die 
I've pawned my shoes for a bottle of booze I drink it , I lay down and die I drink it , I lay down and die You can stomp down the flowers that grow round my grave But they'll rise and bloom again Yes, they'll rise and bloom again 
Raleigh and Spencer are burning down Lord, there ain't no liquor in town No, there ain't no liquor in town 
As sung by Laurie Lewis & Grant Street, "Singing' My Troubles Away," 1990 Flying Fish
