Turpentine and dandelion wine
|
I'm turning on and I'm doin' fine
|
Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line
|
Pickin' em off with this gun of mine
|
I got a fire in my belly
|
And a fire in my head
|
Goin' higher and higher
|
Until I'm dead
|
Sister Sue, she's short and stout
|
She didn't grow up - she grew out
|
Mama says she's plain but she's just bein' kind
|
Papa thinks she's pretty but he's almost blind
|
Don't let her out much 'cept at night
|
But I don't care 'cause I'm all right
|
Oh, the sun shines bright on
|
My Old Kentucky Home
|
And the young folks roll on the floor
|
Oh, the sun shines bright on
|
My Old Kentucky Home
|
Keep them hard times away from my door
|
Brother Gene, he's big and mean
|
And he don't have much to say
|
He had a little woman who he whupped each day
|
But now she's gone away
|
He got drunk last night
|
Kicked mama down the stairs
|
But I'm all right so I don't care
|
