wrinkle neck mules - big dipper lyrics
[verse 1]
where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
what of their stills in the pines?
is their kettle still burning bright?
or has that still run dry?
papa was a whiskey man and his before him
now so am i
lord knows i miss them but i know i’m not alone
when i look up into the night sky
[chorus]
where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
i’ve been told that their living in that big dipper in the sky
it’s their kettles still a burning bright
when i’m alone out there in the middle of the night
sitting with my weed and my wine
i look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky
[verse 2]
way down south georgia back 1932
old uncle john was in a bind
owned himself the only general store for miles
controlled all the farming supplies
it wasn’t long before the i.o.us piled up
people just couldn’t pay
so he closed that store and up into the woods
he went back to that moonshine
[chorus]
where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
i’ve been told that their living in that big dipper in the sky
it’s their kettles still a burning bright
when i’m alone out there in the middle of the night
sitting with my corn and my wine
i look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky
[verse 3]
and i know that they’ll walk with me
when its time for me to p-ss to that great by and by
and i pray the lord will forgive me
‘cause even jesus christ could use a little wine
where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
what of their stills in the pines?
is their kettle still burning bright?
or has that still run dry?
[chorus]
where do the old moonshiners go when they die?
i’ve been told that their living in that big dipper in the sky
it’s their kettles still a burning bright
when i’m alone out there in the middle of the night
sitting with my corn and my wine
i look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky
yes i look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky
