Well, like to explain to you all I no drinkin' man I it once and it got me highly irregular And I swore I'd do it again I promised my in-law that I'd go up watch his still he went in to town to vote It was up on the mountain the map said it would be Friends let me tell you one Though it wasn't no still It stood up on mountainside a hugh golden opal
God's yeller shinin' on the cool clear evenin' God's lanterns twinklin' on and off in the heavens Like I explain'd to you once before I ain't no man But temptation got the of me And I a slash That yella whiskey runnin' down my Like dew vine water
