Moonshine whiskey
Ought to be a crime
When I start to drinkin'
I'm bound to lose my mind
Oh brother, dime
Get me through hard time
Now what's that smokin'
Yonder cross the field
Lookin' like our secret highway
We had so many years
John Law done come
To run us 'way from here
Well he burned down the liquor store
Burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
Well that bootleg whiskey
Where we gone go
Workin' in the fields
All the hot long day
Just thinkin' 'bout the nights we used to dance our blues away
But now I fear
I'm drinkin' my own tears
You turn water to whiskey
That's what the preacher say
Lord, I need a miracle
To get me through the day
Muddy waters come
And wash my blues away
Well he burned down the liquor store
Burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
Well that bootleg whiskey
Where we gone go
Now John Law didn't mind us
Havin' a little fun
'Cause when we made money
You know he would get him some
The joint would rock
Until the mornin' come
But when the money got low
He took me off to jail
'Cause I drink all my corn liquor
And had no more to sell
I ain't had no one
To get me out on bail
Well he burned down the liquor store
Burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
Well that bootleg whiskey
Where we gone go
Well good mornin' judge
Now what may be my fine
When the judge taste my whiskey
He didn't give me no time
He said could you make me
Some more of your moonshine, oh yeah
Well he burned down the liquor store
Burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
Well that bootleg whiskey
Where we gone go
Well that bootleg whiskey
Where we gone go
Well that bootleg whiskey
Where we gone
