Big Dipper

from Minor Enough by Wrinkle Neck Mules

lyrics

Where do the old moonshiners go when they die? What of their stills in the pines? Is there kettle still burning bright? Or has that still run dry? Papa was a whiskey man and his before him Now so am I Lord knows I miss them but I know I’m not alone When I look up into the night sky Where do the old moonshiners go when they die? I’ve been told that their living in that big dipper in the sky It’s their kettles still a burning bright When I’m alone out there in the middle of the night Sitting with my weed and my wine I look up through the pines and give a nod to that big dipper in the sky Way down South Georgia back 1932 Old Uncle John was in a bind Owned himself the only general store for miles Controlled all the farming supplies It wasn’t long before the I.O.Us piled up People just couldn’t pay So it closed that store and up into the woods He went back to that moonshine And I know that they’ll walk with me When its time for me to pass to that great by and by And I pray the Lord will forgive me ‘Cause even Jesus Christ could use a little wine
