Dolly Parton - Daddy's Moonshine Still Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Folks say my daddy wasn't much of a man
  • For disobeying the laws of the land
  • Folks say that my daddy wasn't fit to kill
  • Oh and I know it was true what the people said
  • Cause we'd all've been better of dead
  • Than to live a life of shame and strife
  • Cause of daddy's moonshine still
  • My mama was always sweet and kind
  • But she grew old before her time
  • Worryin' about the way we had to live
  • Yeah my daddy put the wrinkles in my mama's face
  • He drunk his share of all he made
  • And just one more reason I grew to hate
  • My daddy's moonshine still
  • Chorus:
  • Daddy's moonshine still was good for nothin'
  • But to break mama's heart
  • And to tear our home apart
  • Make our lives a livin' hell
  • Them old mason jars that daddy made us wash
  • And set them out to sun on our back porch
  • 'Til he got ready to take 'em up on the hill
  • And when daddy got word of the revenue
  • He made us kids help hide his brew
  • Made us swear that we never knew
  • About daddy's moonshine still
  • Yeah and two of my brothers drove across the state line
  • Once a week with a load of moonshine
  • And the wounds that came from that won't ever heal
  • Cause on a moonshine run one rainy night
  • My two brothers lost their lives
  • And oh my god how I despise
  • My daddy's moonshine still
  • Repeat Chorus
  • Well it broke mama's heart but she understood
  • The day that I left home for good
  • But I had to find me another way to live
  • Well I sent mama money nearly every day
  • And how I made it, well I'd rather not say
  • But at least it took me far away
  • From daddy's moonshine still
  • My bootlegging daddy was known quite well
  • And he made our home a livin' hell
  • And I ain't forgot it and I know that I never will
  • My mama finally died she just gave up
  • And daddy finally died from drinkin' that stuff
  • And bad memories haunt the rest of us
  • From daddy's moonshine still
  • Repeat Chorus
