Bootlegging Blues Lyrics

This corn liquor : there's plenty more to be made
Just get a job at one of these stills : and you surely
will be paid

I tell you it's a mighty risk to run : and a mighty
chance to take
To spend your money : for the corn that the bootlegger
makes

When the bootlegger goes to his still : get ready to make
his stuff
He got his concentrated lye : cocaine and his snuff I went home the other night : I swore I wouldn't drink no
more
Until saloons come back with bottle and *bondy* : in the
days of long ago

But I see that will never be : so I just got drunk again
I haven't nothing so long as corn liquor lasts : and I
got no money to spend
