Franklin County Moonshine Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Franklin County moonshine is all you care about 

You've got those orders comin' in and moonshine goin' out 

If a revenue man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer 

The Franklin County moonshine's put the grey in my black hair 

Do you remember long ago what you promised me 

You said if I would marry you how happy we would be 

It worked out for a little while but then you made a dill 

You said I'd watch the cookstove and you would watch the still 

I never will forget the day you've brought the news to me 

I'm a goin' into business honey baby yes siree 

You think that mountain dew has put you in society 

But you and all that moonshine's made a total wreck of me 

Franklin County moonshine... 

Now I like Franklin County but something's gotta change 

Playing games with old John Wall is a way out of my range 

All you do is shoot the bull and temper that old still 

I'm a gonna put my foot down cause I have had my fill 

I tried my best to make you see that you are doing wrong 

But you just stand and grin at me and make that juice roll strong 

I climb me some big mountain and make the rafters ring 

Cause revenue men'll come running when I began to sing 

Franklin County moonshine... 

Moonshine moonshine (yodel) moonshine moonshine (yodel) 

Moonshine moonshine (yodel)
