Rooster Jones - Jerry Reed

Well old Rooster Jones got a junkyard just outside a town

We buy and we sell says the sign out front by the piece or by the pound

Big scrap iron piles and tore up cars in the front yard by the store

But the way old Rooster really makes his money is right out his back door

Well Rooster Jones makes whiskey it’s always in demand

The Talahatchie County dry law’s makin' Rooster a wealthy man

Rooster Jones

Well a way out back in a clump of trees there’s a run down rickety shack

With a path runnin' to it where the grass won’t grow cause people keep walkin'

on back

Cause that’s where he keeps his merchandise just pour it up ready to go

Sometimes folks have to wait in line just to get in ol' Rooster’s store

Now Rooster Jones sells whiskey it’s always in demand

The Talahatchie County dry law’s makin' Rooster a wealthy man

Big Rooster Son

Well now he don’t sell to the rich folks cause they don’t drink his brand

But the poor folks love old Rooster Jones he’s everybody’s man

The sheriff he is a righteous fellow ain’t no better anywhere

But at the first of the month he tools on by just to pick up the county’s share

Well Rooster Jones makes whiskey it’s always in demand

Talahatchie County dry law’s makin' Rooster a wealthy man

Awful son yeah gettin' rich makin' that tax free liquor

Makin' everybody happy
