Original text with translation

John Law Burned Down The Liquor Sto'

Chris Thomas King

Moonshine Whiskey — Outta be a crime

When I start drinkin' - I’m bound to lose my mind

Oh Brother got to get it a few more time

Now what’s that smokin' - Yonder cross the hill

Looks like our secret hideaway — We had so many years

John Law done come and run us way from here

chorus

He burned down the liquor store

He burned down the liquor store

John Law burned down the liquor store

John Law burned down the liquor store

Well, that bootleg whiskey — Where we gonna go?

Workin' in the fields — All the hot long day

Looks like our secret hideaway — Gone by the way

And now I feel I’m drinkin’my own tears

He turned water to whiskey — That’s what the preacher say

Lord I need a miracle — To get me thru the day

Muddy water come and wash my blues away

chorus

John law didn’t mind us — Having a little fun

Cause when we made money — He would get him some

The joint will rock un — til the morning comes

But when the money got low — He took me off to jail

Cauee i drink all my corn liquor — And had no more to sell

I ain’t had no one — To get me out on bail — oh no chorus

Good morning judge — What may be my fine

When the judge taste my whiskey — He didn’t give me no time

He said could you make me some more of your moonshine — oh yeah

chorus
