Intro: I was born and raised A bootlegger's boy In the Cherokee Hills I applied my trade In Mountain City I had me a time just makin' money on Moonshine. Interlude: A... So I hauled my load into Knoxville town I met me a gal and we knocked around But them Knoxville girls can't leave me alone In my suits so fine and my bottle of corn. Chorus: I'm going back to Mountain City Where I can make another run Load my trunk with Moonshine whisky I am a brave Bootlegger's Son. Interlude: A... So I sold that corn to the Circuit Judge On the public square to Mayor Trent But I met with trouble on the tracks one night With a drunken man I commenced to fight. Interlude: A... Yeah I fought five rounds then I put him away With a wicked jab from a razor blade And the women screamed as the bottles broke On stony ground where the blood did flow. Chorus: I'm going back to Mountain City gonna make those revenues run I killed a man in a feud of whiskey I am a cruel Bootlegger's son. Solo: play the chords to the chorus 2x Interlude: A... Now I roam the night just to hide my shame I lost all my money can't find a friend Gonna drag my bones to the mountainside If corn don't kill me I might never die. Chorus: I'm going back to Mountain City or else they'll hang me this I know I killed a man in a feud of whiskey I am a cruel Bootlegger's boy. I'm going back to Mountain City to the Cherokee hills I started from Going home broke ain't it a pity I am a cruel Bootlegger's son. Outro: play the chords to chorus
