G C G C G etc... Verses G C G I was born and raised, G C G A bootlegger's boy, G C G In the Cherokee Hills, G C G I applied my trade, C In Mountain City, G I had me a time, G C G Just making money, G C G On Moon - shine. Verse 2 So I hauled my load, Into Knoxville Town, I met me a gal, And we knocked around, But them Knoxville girls, Can't leave me alone, In my suits so fine, And my bottle of corn. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/o/old-crow-medicine-show/348147.html ] Chorus C G I'm going back to Mountain City, C G Where I can make another run, C G Load my trunk with Moonshine whisky, G C G D G I am a bra-ave Bootlegger's son. Lyrics for the rest Yeah I sold that corn, To the Circuit Judge, On the Public Square, To Mayor Trent, But I met with trouble, On the tracks one night, With a drunken man, I commenced to fight. Yeah I fought five rounds, Then I put him away, With a wicked jab, From a razor blade, And the women screamed, As the bottles broke, On stoney ground, Where the blood did flow. I'm going back to Mountain City, Gonna make those revenues run, I killed a man in a feud of whisky, I am a cruel Bootlegger's son. Now I roam the night, Just to hide my shame, I lost all my money, Can't find a friend, Gonna drag my bones, To the mountainside, If corn don't kill me, I might never die. I'm going back to Mountain City, Or else they'll hang me this I know, I killed a man in a feud of whisky, I am a cruel Bootlegger's boy. I'm going back to Mountain City, To the Cherokee Hills I started from, Going home broke ain't it a pity, I am a cruel Bootlegger's son. |
