Claude Jones |
| Back in southern Virginia |
| There lived a legend of a man, |
| he took to runnin corn whiskey |
| all across this land |
| His name was Claude Jones, |
| made of nothing but skin and bones, |
| and he had a hair triggered temper, |
| he could change as quick as weather |
| Claude Jones, Claude Jones, |
| don’t leave your family alone |
| When you’re born a free born man, |
| apart from Uncle Sam, |
| y’know you gotta take that money any way that you can |
| Wake up, get up and go! |
| drink up, yeah put on a show! |
| before they bury you in the sand |
| You’ll be standing just singing in that sun |
| while other bootleggers their lives are one and done |
| think about your family Claude now you’re dead and gone |
| and may they be worthy to grace this land you walked upon |
| Claude Jones, Claude Jones, Claude Jones |
| so you will always live on |
| Solo |
| When you’re born a free born man, |
| apart from Uncle Sam, |
| y’know damn well you take that money any way that you can |
| Wake up, get up and go! |
| drink up, put on a show! |
| before they bury you in the sand |
| You’ll be standing Claude singing in that sun |
| while other bootleggers y’know their lives are one and done |
| just think about your family Claude now you’re dead and gone |
| and may they be worthy to grace this land that you walked upon |
| Claude Jones, Claude Jones, Claude Jones |
| so you will always live on |
