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' cocaine 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
