| [00:15.27] |
I was born and raised |
| [00:16.86] |
A bootlegger's boy |
| [00:18.15] |
In the Cherokee hills |
| [00:20.34] |
I plied my trade |
| [00:22.02] |
In Mountain |
| [00:22.62] |
City I had me a time |
| [00:25.26] |
Just a-makin' money |
| [00:27.03] |
On the corn moonshine |
| [00:28.74] |
Well I hauled my load |
| [00:35.52] |
Into Knoxville town |
| [00:37.32] |
I met me a girl |
| [00:38.88] |
And we knocked around |
| [00:40.59] |
Well them |
| [00:40.89] |
Knoxville girls |
| [00:42.33] |
Couldn't leave me alone |
| [00:44.10] |
With my suit so fine |
| [00:45.69] |
And my bottle of corn |
| [00:47.52] |
I'm goin' back to |
| [00:48.09] |
Mountain City |
| [00:52.29] |
So I can make another run |
| [00:53.28] |
Load my trunk with my moonshine whisky |
| [00:57.51] |
I am a brave bootlegger's son |
| [01:00.00] |
Well I sold that corn |
| [01:09.15] |
To the circuit judge |
| [01:11.16] |
On the public square |
| [01:12.81] |
To many a tramp |
| [01:14.55] |
Well I met with trouble |
| [01:16.14] |
On the tracks one night |
| [01:17.73] |
With a drunken man |
| [01:19.53] |
I commenced to fight |
| [01:26.43] |
We fought five rounds |
| [01:28.05] |
Then I put him away |
| [01:29.67] |
With a wicked jab |
| [01:31.26] |
From a razor blade |
| [01:33.00] |
How the women screamed |
| [01:34.86] |
And the bottles broke |
| [01:36.33] |
On the stony ground |
| [01:38.07] |
Where the blood did flow |
| [01:39.87] |
I'm goin' back to |
| [01:40.50] |
Mountain City |
| [01:43.20] |
The deed I done they'll never know |
| [01:46.59] |
I killed a man in a fuel of whisky |
| [01:51.60] |
I am a rude bootlegger's boy |
| [02:27.09] |
Now I hang my head |
| [02:28.65] |
Just to hide my shame |
| [02:30.54] |
Lost all my money |
| [02:32.07] |
Can't find a friend |
| [02:33.84] |
I'm gonna drag my bones |
| [02:35.58] |
To the mountainside |
| [02:37.29] |
If the corn don't kill me |
| [02:38.94] |
I might never die |
| [02:40.71] |
I'm goin' back to |
| [02:41.34] |
Mountain City |
| [02:44.04] |
Or else they'll hang me this |
| [02:46.23] |
I know I killed a man in a feud of whisky, |
| [02:50.82] |
I am a cruel |
| [02:52.47] |
Bootlegger's boy. |
| [02:54.24] |
I'm goin' back to |
| [02:54.87] |
Mountain City |
| [02:56.82] |
In the Cherokee hills |
| [03:00.90] |
I started from |
| [03:01.26] |
Goin' home broke, ain't it a pity |
| [03:03.63] |
Lord curse this rude bootlegger's son |
