Nat Stuckey - Joe And Mabel's 12th Street Bar And Grill lyrics

Joe and Mabel's 12th St. Bar and Grill

The kids say, "Daddy, where did you meet mother?"

Well, I can't tell them and I never will.

I can't tell them that we met each other

Down at Joe and Mabel's twelfth street bar and grill.

I used to find you down there every weekend,

But when we wed I thought you'd had your fill,

But here lately you've begun to frequent

Joe and Mabel's twelfth street bar and grill.

Chorus:

There's an Ajax beer sign hanging from the window

And there're men behind those walls of sin

Who'll drag you down again!

I can't understand why you get such a thrill

Down at Joe and Mabel's twelfth street bar and grill.
