Alrightey, here's my best guess at the lyrics. If anyone knows the 'official' version, please let us know. ;-)

All the best, Áine

John Law Burned Down The Liquor Sto'
(Chris Thomas King and Colin Linden)

Moonshine whiskey oughta be a crime,
When I start drinkin', I'm bound to lose my mind,
Oh brother, din' it get me through hard times.

Now what's that smokin' yonder 'cross the hill?
Look like our secret hideaway, we has so many a year,
John Law done come an' run us 'way from here.

He burned down the liquor sto'
He burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
For that bootleg whiskey, where we gon' go?

Workin' in the fields all the hot long day
Just thinkin' 'bout the night we used to dance our blues away
But now I feel I'm drinkin' my own tears.

He turned water to whiskey, that's what the preacher say,
Lawd, I need a miracle, to git me through the day,
Muddy water come, and wash my blues away.

He burned down the liquor sto'
He burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
For that bootleg whiskey, where we gon' go?

Instrumental Break

John Law didn't mind us havin' a little fun,
'Cuz when we made money, he would git him some,
The jungle rotgut 'till the mornin' come.

But when the money got low, he took me off to jail,
'Cuz I drank all my corn liquor, and had no mo' to sell,
I ain't had no one to git me out on bail.

He burned down the liquor sto'
He burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
For that bootleg whiskey, where he gon' go?

Good mornin', Judge, what may be my fine?
When the Judge taste' my whiskey, he didn't give me no time,
He said, 'Could you make me some mo' of yo' moonshine?'

He burned down the liquor sto'
He burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
For that bootleg whiskey, where we gon' go?

Well, he burned down the liquor sto'
He burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
John Law burned down the liquor sto'
For that bootleg whiskey, where we gon' go?
