Moonshine Whiskey - Outta be a crime When I start drinkin' - I'm bound to lose my mind Oh Brother got to get it a few more time
Now what's that smokin' - Yonder cross the hill Looks like our secret hideaway - We had so many years John Law done come and run us way from here
chorus ------ He burned down the liquor store He 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 gonna go?
Workin' in the fields - All the hot long day Looks like our secret hideaway - Gone by the way And now I feel I'm drinkin'my own tears
He turned water to whiskey - That's what the preacher say Lord I need a miracle - To get me thru the day Muddy water come and wash my blues away
chorus ------
John law didn't mind us - Having a little fun Cause when we made money - He would get him some The joint will rock un - til the morning comes
But when the money got low - He took me off to jail Cauee i drink all my corn liquor - And had no more to sell I ain't had no one - To get me out on bail - oh no
chorus ------
Good morning judge - 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
