Memphis Minnie Moonshine Lyrics

(Memphis Minnie)
I've got to leave this town, I've got to go before the
sun goes down
I've got to leave this town, I've got to go before the
sun goes down
'Cause I done got tired of these coppers running me
around

I stayed in jail last night and all last night before
I stayed in jail last night and all last night before
I would have been there now if my daddy hadn't sprung the
do'

I stay in so much trouble, that's why I've got to go
I stay in so much trouble, that's why I've got to go But when I get out this time, I won't sell moonshine no
more

I done packed my trunk and done shipped it on down the
road
I done packed my trunk and done shipped it on down the
road
Now I won't be bothered with these big bad bulls no more

Just keep me a-moving going from door to door
Just keep me a-moving going from door to door
I done made up in my mind not to sell moonshine no more

(spoken: Yeah!)
