Papa's on the front porch chicken pickin'
Mama was in the kitchen cookin' chicken
Aunt flo was turnin' up the dobro
Uncle jo was screamin' let's rock and roll
Let's rock and roll

Some say the mountains might get 'em but
They know the law never will
Them boys been makin' that moonshine
Out under a moonlit still
Some say the swamp gonna get 'em boy
They know the law never will
Them boys been growin' that sweet leaf
'Round here we call it kill
That muddy river ain't no place to go
You could lose your soul to the real foe

No no
Don't go
That muddy water ain't no place to go
You could lose your soul to the real foe
Oh no
Don't go
You'd best take heed and believe what I say
Go in them woods and you'll have hell to pay
So let me make myself clear
There's a chance that you could disappear
'Cause your laws they don't go around here
Do I make myself perfectly clear
Ya hear me
Do ya hear me

Some say the mountains might get 'em but
They know the law never will
Them boys been makin' that music
Up yonder on paw paw hill
Some say the swamp gonna' get 'em boy
They know the law never will
Them boys been smokin' that warthog
Out here on the grill
That muddy river ain't no place to go
You could lose your soul to the real foe
No no
Don't go
That muddy water ain't no place to go

You could lose your soul to the real foe
Oh no
Don't go
You'd best take heed and believe what I say
Go in them woods and you'll have hell to pay
So let me make myself clear
There's a chance that you could disappear
'Cause your laws they don't go around here
Do I make myself perfectly clear

Ya hear me
So let me make myself clear
There's a chance that you could dissapear
'Cause your laws they don't go around here
Do I make myself perfectly clear
Do ya hear me
Tell me can ya hear me?
