Intro: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
**The A-E transition is very quick so hardly one strum is required on the E chords.
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: ,,,,...
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: ,,,,...
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: ,,,,...
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: ,,,,...
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
