Verse #2

Back in the 30's when the dust bowl dried and the woods of Alabama didn't see no light

My daddy played poker by a hardwood fire, squeezing all his luck from a hot copper wire

Scrap like a wildcat, fights till the end. Trap a wildcat and take its skin

Deal from the bottom, put the ace in the hole

One hand on the jug, but you never do know

Chorus #1

CSon come running

GBetter come quick

A♯This rotgut moonshine is Fmaking me sick

CYour momma called the law and they're gonnaG take me away

A♯Down so far even the dFevil wont stay

DWhere I called to the Lord with all my soul

I could hFear him rattling the chain on the door

He Gcouldn't get in, I could see he tried

Through the shDadows of the cage around the 40 watt light

Chorus #2

CDaddy tell me another story

GTell me about the low's and the high's

A♯Tell me how to tell the difference between what they tFell me is the truth or a lie

CTell me why the ones who have so much make the oFnes who don't go mad

with the sA♯ame skin stretched over their white bones and the sFame jug in their hand

Verse #3

My daddy played poker on a stump in the woods back when the world was gray

Before black and white went and chose up sides and gave a little bit of both their way

The only blood that's any cleaner is the blood that's blue or greener

Without either you just get meaner and the blood you gave gives you away
