John Law Burned Down the Liquor Sto'

Chris Thomas King
 Down from the mounatin
 John Law Burned down the liquor sto'
 Moonshine Whiskey - Outta be a crime
 When I start drinkin' - I'm bound to lose my mind
 Oh Brother got to get it a few more time
 Now what's that smokin' - Yonder cross the hill
 Looks like our secret hideaway - We had so many years
 John Law done come and run us way from here
 chorus
 ------
 He burned down the liquor store
 He burned down the liquor store
 John Law burned down the liquor store
 John Law burned down the liquor store
 Well, that bootleg whiskey - Where we gonna go?
 Workin' in the fields - All the hot long day
 Looks like our secret hideaway - Gone by the way
 And now I feel I'm drinkin'my own tears
 He turned water to whiskey - That's what the preacher say
 Lord I need a miracle - To get me thru the day
 Muddy water come and wash my blues away
 chorus
 ------
 John law didn't mind us - Having a little fun
 Cause when we made money - He would get him some
 The joint will rock un - til the morning comes
 But when the money got low - He took me off to jail
 Cauee i drink all my corn liquor - And had no more to sell
 I ain't had no one - To get me out on bail - oh no
 chorus
 ------
 Good morning judge - What may be my fine
 When the judge taste my whiskey - He didn't give me no time
 He said could you make me some more of your moonshine - oh yeah
