Bootleggers Blues Songtext

brother took off to the county jail

You better make it through the world if you can



If you can

If you can

You better make it through the world if you can



If you want to have to leave home,

you just stick with a bottle of corn

You got to make it through the world if you can


You may think they're doin' you wrong,

but they'll send you to the county farm

You better make it through the world if you can



If you can

If you can

You better make it through the world if you can



When you go out for a load,

the sheriff will stop you on the road

You have to make it through this world if you can



It's a real surprising thing,

that to hear those boys will drink

You better make it through the world if you can



If you can

If you can

You better make it through the world if you can



...they sure got to hear about liquor



Ever since this state went dry,

the bootleggers have their shine

They gonna keep out of the way of the jail if they can



If they can

If they can

They gonna keep out of the way of the jail if they can
