fiddlin’ john carson – john makes good liquor – part 3 (fulton county jail) lyrics

one night as i lay lonely
a+dreaming an awful dream
i dreamt i was on yon mountain+
and on some still+house stream
a+making blockade whiskey+
and selling at retail
a+waking up i found myself+
in fulton county jail

the first come a+round was a jailer+
both hands was filled with keys+
singing, “cheer you up, you blockade stiller
and selling at retail
your sentence shall be ninety days+
in fulton county jail.”
