| Well this old mountain is a-holding its breath
|
| The revenuers comin' and it smells like death
|
| A rifle in his arm, the other wrapped around
|
| The leather in the leash of the blue tick hound
|
| Mama standing by the laundry line
|
| The sky ain’t ever as dark as her eyes
|
| Daddy’s in the hills, he’s gonna get found
|
| Can’t get away from the blue tick hound
|
| Blue tick hound, nose to the ground
|
| Smoke in the hills and the law’s in town
|
| Thumper won’t thump, the mash won’t pound
|
| Waiting on the howl of the blue tick hound
|
| Corn and copper, whiskey and water
|
| My my my what a lovely daughter
|
| I will hide her in the piney woods
|
| Before you come around for a second look
|
| Corn and copper, whiskey and water
|
| My my my what a lovely daughter
|
| I will hide her in the piney woods
|
| Before you come around for a second look
|
| Got a little charge, keep it in the barn
|
| Stole it from the quarry up the road
|
| One of these days and it won’t be long
|
| I’m going to disappear with the blue tick hound
|
| Blue tick hound, nose to the ground
|
| Smoke in the hills and the law’s in town
|
| Thumper won’t thump, the mash won’t pound
|
| Waiting on the howl of the blue tick hound
|
| Waiting on the howl of the blue tick hound
|
| Waiting on the howl
|
| Waiting on the howl
|
| Waiting on the howl of the blue tick hound |
