Subject: God's Own Drunk
Jimmy Buffet does a song (more of a story really) on "Living and Dying in 3/4 Time" called "God's Own Drunk". In Radio Margaritaville's discography there is no credit to the songwriter/storyteller. Does anyone know who it and what the background is on it?

The story has a Prohibition era, Appalachian ring to it--mountains, stills, moonshine.

A search on this forum revealed only a clue about "Lord Ricard (Richard?) Buckley".

Thanks for any information.
