| Turpentine and dandelion wine
|
| I’ve turned the corner an' I’m doin' fine
|
| Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
|
| Pickin' 'em off with this gun o' mine
|
| Got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
|
| Going higher and higher till I’m dead
|
| Sister Sue is short and stout, she didn’t grow up, she grew out
|
| Momma says, she’s plain but she’s just being kind
|
| Papa thinks she’s pretty but he’s almost blind
|
| Don’t let her out much except at night
|
| But I don’t care 'cause I’m all right
|
| Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
| Young folks roll on the floor
|
| Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
| Keep them hard times away from my door
|
| Brother Gene is big and mean and he don’t have much to say
|
| He had a little woman who he whooped each day
|
| But now she’s gone away got drunk last night
|
| Kicked momma down the stairs but I’m all right
|
| So I don’t care
|
| Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
| And the young folks are rollin' on the floor
|
| Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
| Keep them hard times away from my door
|
| Turpentine and dandelion wine
|
| I’ve turned the corner an' I’m doin' fine

|
| Pickin' 'em off with this gun o' mine
|
| Got a fire in my belly and a fire in my head
|
| Goin' higher and higher till I’m dead
|
| Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
| And the young folks are rollin' on the floor
|
| Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
|
| Keep them hard times away from my door
|
| Keep them hard times away from my door |
