Corn Liquor

Well when I was a little bitty boy

No bigger than an old polecat

Well I used to wonder like all kids

What made this do that

When he take a drink from a jug

Yeah he’d start with a smile and then after awhile

He’d be out on the floor like a rug

Corn liquor corn liquor

What makes you do what you do

Well they feel no pain when you touch their brain

Corn liquor they love you

My folks were away for awhile

Yeah I got the jug down from the shelf

To see what made ’em smile

That one drink was enough

For the life of me I just can’t see

Why they love that awful stuff

When he take a drink from a jug

Yeah he’d start with a smile and then after awhile

He’d be out on the floor like a rug

That first sip that I had

Yeah I really burned and soon I learned

It wasn’t all that bad

Here’s the way I’ve got it figured

Well the thing to do for me and you

Is drink lotsa good corn liquor

When he take a drink from a jug

Yeah he’d start with a smile and then after awhile

He’d be out on the floor like a rug
