Ted Russell Kamp - Swamp Water Whiskey lyrics
v1: He was king of the swamp and a guitar picker on the outskirts of Baton Rouge with a bottleneck slide and the juke joint liquor he taught me about the blues He grew a little corn and sugarcane and he put it in the whiskey still Everybody knows when you go down South the blues don't pay the bills He'd say how you gonna pay them bills? Ch: Swamp water Whiskey - fill the bottles up on a hickory stump Swamp water Whiskey - load 'em on up in the back of the trunk Swamp water Whiskey - come on Son and make a midnight run Slide on over take a ride with me cause you can't learn the blues without the Swamp Water Whiskey v2: we saw blue lights flashing in the rear view mirror and we pulled right off the road then old man Charlie just gave 'em a jar and those men in blue done let us go and we took off down the road (singing) Ch: Br: it was a few years later that the feds caught on showed up and they put him in the county pen federal a 20 year sentence turned out to be life done took his life and he never came back again but I'll play his song again and again (come on) Solo over Ch: (no breaks) v3: (half verse, 1st half broken down) You learn in life what you have to do that every road has to end but rules are just like a guitar string and they're only made to bend and sometimes you gotta do it again and again |
