Franklin County Moonshine

    Franklin County moonshine is all you care about
    You've got those orders comin' in and moonshine goin' out
    If a revenue man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer
    The Franklin County moonshine's put the grey in my black hair

    Do you remember long ago what you promised me
    You said if I would marry you how happy we would be
    It worked out for a little while but then you made a dill
    You said I'd watch the cookstove and you would watch the still
    I never will forget the day you've brought the news to me
    I'm a goin' into business honey baby yes siree
    You think that mountain dew has put you in society
    But you and all that moonshine's made a total wreck of me
    Franklin County moonshine...

    Now I like Franklin County but something's gotta change
    Playing games with old John Wall is a way out of my range
    All you do is shoot the bull and temper that old still
    I'm a gonna put my foot down cause I have had my fill
    I tried my best to make you see that you are doing wrong
    But you just stand and grin at me and make that juice roll strong
    I climb me some big mountain and make the rafters ring
    Cause revenue men'll come running when I began to sing
    Franklin County moonshine...
    Moonshine moonshine (yodel) moonshine moonshine (yodel)
