Ever since I was a young boy...
I hung out in juke joints and bars...
I watched da men play da biff machines...
Drinkin’ Dixie beer and smokin’ cigars...
My favorite hangout was Eddie Price’s...
On Broadway, one block off Freret...
If I was lucky, I’d see a fist fight...
It was the most excitement a kid could get...
......
A great beer was brewed...
Starting back in 1907...
Sent down to New Orleans...
A saintly gift from Heaven...
It was brewed in the red brick building...
In Mid City on Tulane Avenue...
75,000 barrels a year...
Plenty enough for me and you...
