[D] [A]
I was born and raised a bootlegger's boy In the Cherokee hills I plied my trade
In [D] Mountain City I had [A] me a time Just a-makin' money on moonshine
So I hauled the load into Knoxville town I met me a gal and we knocked her out
But them [D] Knoxville girls can't [A] leave me alone In my suits I'm fine and my bottle of corn
I'm [D] goin' back to [A] Mountain City Where [F#m] I can make [A] another run
[F#m] Lord, my drum, remember [A] I'm trying to escape I [F#] am a brave bootlegger's son
[A]
So I sold that corn to the sucky judge On the public square to Mayor Trent
But I [D] met with trouble on the [A] track one night With a drunken man I commenced a fight
Yeah, I fought five rounds and then I put him away
With a wicked jab from a razor blade How the [D] women screamed and [A] the bottles broke
On the stony ground where the blood did flow I'm [D] goin' back to [A] Mountain City
Gonna [F#] make some [A] revenue with a run I [F#m] killed a man in a [A] few double whiskies
I [F#m] am a cruel [A] bootlegger's son

So now I roam at night just to hide my shame I lost all my money, can't find a friend
I'm gonna [D] drag my bones to [A] the mountainside Cause if [F#m] corn don't kill [F#] me, I might [A] never die
I'm [D] goin' back to [A] Mountain City Or [F#m] else they'll [A] hang me
I know I [F#m] killed a man in a few double whiskies I am a [A] cruel bootlegger's boy
I'm [D] goin' back to [A] Mountain City To the [F#m] Cherokee [A] hills I started from
[F#m] Gone home broke, [A] ain't it a pity I [F#m] am a cruel bootlegger's son
