Jack Up The Jail

Jack Up The Jail
Lived in the holler all my life
Scratched out a livin’ for my kids and wife
Worked in the fields and plowed up the ground
Fired up the still when the sun went down
Made me a run over Harlan way
Straight corn liquor for election day
Ran into trouble and I tried to run
But I didn’t make it so here I come

Chorus
Jack up the jail boys here I come
The best moonshiner I’m a son of a gun
High Sherriff caught me on the run
Jack up the jail boys here I come
Jack up the jail boys here I come

I’m Willie P. Fuller known by all
Federal marshals and the county law
They caught me but everything’s fine
Taught my little woman how to make that shine

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
