Jean Shepard Franklin County Moonshine Lyrics

Franklin County moonshine is all you care about
You've got those orders comin' in and moonshine goin' out
If a revenuer man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer
That Franklin County moonshine's puttin' gray 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 deal
You said I'd watch the cook stove and you would watch the still
I never will forget the day you broke the news to me
I'm a goin' into business honey baby yes sir-ree
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 revenuer man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer
That Franklin County moonshine's puttin' gray in my black hair
Now I like Franklin County but something's gotta change
Playin' games with old John Law is a way out of my range
All you do is shoot the bull and pamper that old still
I'm a gonna put my foot down cause I have had my fill
I've tried my best to make you see that you are doin' wrong
But you just stand and grin at me and make that juice real strong
I'll climb me some big mountain and make the rafters ring
Those revenuer men will come runnin' 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 revenuer man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer
That Franklin County moonshine's puttin' gray in my black hair
Moonshine moonshine oo-dele let-ee
Moonshine moonshine i-dele let-ee
Moonshine moonshine oo-dele let-ee oo-dele oo-dele
