What's Made Milwaukee Famous

Lyrics: Glenn Sutton
Music: Glenn Sutton

A song the New Riders played in their very early days in 1969. It was originally recorded as a single by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1968.

It's late and she's waiting
And I know I should go home
But every time I start to leave
They play another song
Then someone buys another round
In wherever drinks are free
What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a fool out of me

Baby's begged me not to go
So many times before
She says love and happiness
Can't live behind those swinging doors
Now's she's gone and I'm to blame
Too late I finally see
What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a loser out of me

Baby's begged me not to go
So many times before
She says love and happiness
Can't live behind those swinging doors
Now's she's gone and I'm to blame
Too late I finally see
What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a loser out of me
What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a loser out of me
