Whiskey Dirt Lyrics - Jack Greene

Livin' on whiskey dirt ain't easy Lord, when you're little 

When you planted in whiskey dirt it's hard to grow 

The corn we grew on whiskey farm, we stored in a jar in a gunny sack 

But it kept us eaten when daddy couldn't find any work 

And it's hard to smile when you know that people 

All laughin' out loud behind your back 

And there's not much plowin' to do in the whiskey dirt 

Livin' on whiskey dirt ain't easy Lord when you're little 

You might say it's a mighty tough row to hold 

Sometimes you think you ain't a gonna get no bigger 

When you planted in whiskey dirt it's hard to grow 

We had to live, so we all worked together 

And everybody had his little bit to do 

I had to wash and boil 'em mason jars 

Mama did the fillin' and brother did the diggin' 

We had to keep it hid when we got through 

And later on papa did sell 'em in the wagon yard 

Livin' on whiskey dirt ain't easy Lord when you're little 

You might say it's a mighty tough row to hold 

Sometimes you think you ain't a gonna get no bigger 

When you planted in whiskey dirt it's hard to grow 

Livin' on whiskey dirt ain't easy Lord, when you're little 

When you planted in whiskey dirt it's hard to grow
