I was there when the men came and told us all the news |
|
Father forgive them for they know not what they do |
|
Till they walk a while, a country mile |
|
In my hillbilly shoes |
|
You want to judge me by the whiskey on my breath |
|
You think you know me but you ain't seen nothing yet |
|
Till you walk a while, a country mile |
|
In my hillbilly shoes, in my hillbilly shoes |
|
You work all day in the muck and the mire |
|
Dance a little jig and a stomp by the fire |
|
Ain't too much these boots can't do |
|
Might even kick a little sense into you |
|
Well, I'm going up cripple creek, going in a run |
|
Going up cripple creek to have a little fun |
|
Law man said they found some tracks |
|
People saw them leavin' but they never come back |
|
Oh, you don't know me, you don't know |
|
You don't know, you don't know |
|
Till you walk a while, a country mile |
|
In my hillbilly shoes, in my hillbilly shoes |
