I REMEMBER HER STILL
(Jimmy Driftwood)

I courted a moonshiner's daughter
She never had tasted water
I called her Filly and she called me Hoss
Her lips were sweeter than Tobasco Sauce
I thought someday that I would be her boss

CHORUS
But the revenoors made a raid one night
And I went over the hill
I've forgotten what she looks like now
But I remember her still

That gal was always a-sippin'
Where the yaller corn kept drippin'.
The smoke a-risin' from her whiskey still,
The moon a-shinin' down on Moonshine Hill—
One look from her would give my heart a thrill

CHORUS

They caught me in Baxter County
And of course she's got a bounty
She swore the liquor all belonged to me
They sent me to the penitentiary
One thing I'm gonna tell her when I'm free

CHORUS
