Bootleggers' Blues |
| Bag of whiskey on my back |
| And the sheriff is on my track |
| I’m gonna make it through the world |
| If I can |
| I’d take your worst to go my bail |
| 'Ruther to go to the county jail |
| You better make it through the world |
| If you can |
| If you can, if you can |
| You better make it through the world |
| If you can |
| If you want to have to leave home |
| You just stick wit' a bottle of corn |
| You have to make it through the world |
| If you can |
| You may think they’s doin' you wrong |
| But they’ll send ya to the county farm |
| You better make it through the world |
| If you can |
| If you can, if you can |
| You’ve gotta fake it to the world |
| If you can |
| When you go out for a load |
| The sheriff will stop you on the road |
| You’ll have to make it to the world |
| If you can |
| It’s a real surprisin' thing |
| That to hear those .44's ring |
| You better fake it to the world |
| If you can |
| If you can, if you can |
| You’ve gotta fake it to the world if you can |
| (fiddle & guitar) |
| 'Boy, they’ll sure get you here about liquor' |
| (fiddle & guitar) |
| Ev’ra since that state went dry |
| The bootleggers have to stand shy |
| They gonna keep out the way of the sheriff |
| If they can |
| If they can, if they can |
| They gonna keep out the way a-the sheriffs |
| If they can. |
