Bootlegging Blues - Jim Jackson
Since
Hard liquor came in style
Theres plenty money to be made
Just get a job at one of these fields
And you surely will be paid
I tell you it's a mighty
Risk to run
And a mighty chance to take
To spend your money for the corn that the bootlegger make
The bootlegging man got his bottle in his hand
And all he needs is a little more speed
So he can outrun the revenue man
When the bootlegger goes
To his still
Get ready to make his stuff
He got his concentrated lye
Cocaine and his snuff
He'll fix you up a drink just won't quit
It'll make you fight a circle saw
Make you slap the lady down
And make you pick a fight with your pa
The bootlegging man got his bottle in his hand
And all he needs is a little more speed
So he can outrun the revenue man
I went home the other night
I swore I wouldn't drink no more
Until saloons come back with bottle and bondy
And the days of long ago
But I see that will never be
So I just got drunk again
I haven't nothing so long as corn liquor lasts
And I got no money to spend
The bootlegging man got his bottle in his hand
And all he needs is a little more speed
So he can outrun the revenue man
The bootlegging man got his bottle in his hand
And all he needs is a little more speed
So he can outrun the revenue man
