Refrain: “Goodbye, Mistah Saloon,” goodbye! You can’t git me back, an’ it’s no use fo’ to try; I got money in de band, an’ carpet on de flo’, Ain’t agoin’ to waste mah nickels no mo’; All my children am a-singin’ dis tune, “Goodbye, Mistah Saloon.” O glory! “Goodbye, Mistah Saloon,” goodbye! You can’t git me back, an’ it’s no use fo’ to try; I got money in de band, an’ carpet on de flo’, Ain’t agoin’ to waste mah nickels no mo’; All my children am a-singin’ dis tune, “Goodbye, Mistah Saloon.” 2 Ain’t no use a-votin’ ef you ain’t a-votin’ right, Fer votin’ does de business ef de ballot’s pure an’ white; Ef we get togedder it will happen mighty soon, Den it’s “Goodbye, Mistah Saloon.” O glory! [Refrain] 3 W’en we gets de women all a-votin’ same as men, De times’ll sure get better dan dey evah yit have been; Looks to me dis minute lak it’s comin’ mighty soon, Den it’s “Goodbye, Mistah Saloon.” O glory!
