"For the black gals shine on the Georgia line
Oh hold the woodpile down."

"Backyard shine" was contributed by the NLCR in the 60s, who either had a scratchier copy of the record or were practicing some early PC -- more likely the former, since they point out the phrase and that they don't know what it means (something to do with moonshine?).
