Lyrics

Lord, the revenue men is ridin', boy, you'd better look out
 (Aw, sure, if it ain't Purvis)
 Lord, the revenue men is ridin', boy, you'd better look out
 (Boy, if he hollers at you, you don't stop, boy)
 If he hollers at you, don't stop, you will likely be knocked out
 Well, I don't 'low her salt water, well, she always wants a drink
 (Got to have a drink)
 I don't 'low her salt water, she always wants a drink
 (Wanna drink? See you with a bottle, though)
 If they see you with a bottle, they will almost break your neck
 Oh, take me home through, Lord, that shy nest door
 (Aw, sure)
 I said take me home through that shy nest door
 (She don't need no telling daddy, aw sure)
 She don't need no telling, dad will take you in his car
 Oh, come on mama, let us go to the edge of town
 (Aw, sure)
 Come on, mama, let us go to the edge of town
 (Baby, I know where Charley's got his other nest built at)
 I know where there's another bird nest built down on the ground
 Oh, I wake up every mornin' now with the jinx all around my bed
 (Aw, sure)
 I wakes up every mornin' with the jinx all around my bed
 (You know I have them jinx here now)
 I have been a good provider, but I believe I've been misled
