lyrics

Willy's back porch leggin' shine, this ain't no door-to-door
They love the smell in Gatlinburg, what else are bathtubs for?
All my neighbors goin' blind, suckin' lightnin' out a jug
Sister Sue, she's on the lurch, takes a razor to the rug

Rev. Jim dips a hand in the tin only he ain't satisfied
Congregation don't know he's drunk when he handles that rattlesnake hide
Shakers all condemn the hooch sayin' "devil's in the drink"
Then line up outside Willy's door lookin' for another swig

I made my mind up at the start
You lay that money down and I'll be sure to calibrate your heart

Now, Horace died the other night
Formaldehyde to hold him tight
Before they get 'em in the ground
They mix it in the liquor that put him down

I'll make your mind up at the end
You lay that money down and I'll be sure to aggravate your head

I'll make your mind up at the end
You lay that money down and I'll be sure to aggravate your head
