Artist/Band: Jean Shepard
Lyrics for Song: Franklin County Moonshine
Lyrics for Album: The Melody Ranch Girl [Bear Family (Germany)] [1996]



(Betty Amos)



Franklin County moonshine is all you care about

You've got those orders comin' in and moonshine goin' out

If a revenue man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer

The Franklin County moonshine's put the grey in my black hair.



Do you remember long ago what you promised me

You said if I would marry you how happy we would be

It worked out for a little while but then you made a dill

You said I'd watch the cookstove and you would watch the still.



I never will forget the day you've brought the news to me

I'm a goin' into business honey baby yes siree

You think that mountain dew has put you in society

But you and all that moonshine's made a total wreck of me.



Franklin County moonshine is all you care about

You've got those orders comin' in and moonshine goin' out

If a revenue man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer

The Franklin County moonshine's put the grey in my black hair.



Now I like Franklin County but something's gotta change

Playing games with old John Wall is a way out of my range

All you do is shoot the bull and temper that old still

I'm a gonna put my foot down cause I have had my fill.



I tried my best to make you see that you are doing wrong

But you just stand and grin at me and make that juice roll strong

I climb me some big mountain and make the rafters ring

Cause revenue men'll come running when I began to sing.



Franklin County moonshine is all you care about

You've got those orders comin' in and moonshine goin' out

If a revenue man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer

The Franklin County moonshine's put the grey in my black hair.



Moonshine, moonshine --- yodel ---

Moonshine, moonshine --- yodel ---

Moonshine, moonshine --- yodel ---
