Bootleggers' Blues

I got whiskey on my back,
 and a sheriff's on my track
 I'm gonna make it through this world if I can
 I take a walk to go my bail,
 brother took off to the county jail
 You better make it through the world if you can
 If you can
 If you can
 You better make it through the world if you can
 If you want to have to leave home,
 you just stick with a bottle of corn
 You got to make it through the world if you can
 You may think they're doin' you wrong,
 but they'll send you to the county farm
 You better make it through the world if you can
 If you can
 If you can
 You better make it through the world if you can
 When you go out for a load,
 the sheriff will stop you on the road
 You have to make it through this world if you can
 It's a real surprising thing,
 that to hear those boys will drink
 You better make it through the world if you can
 If you can
 If you can
 You better make it through the world if you can
 ...they sure got to hear about liquor
 Ever since this state went dry
 the bootleggers have their shine
 They gonna keep out of the way of the jail if they can
 If they can
 If they can
 They gonna keep out of the way of the jail if they can
