I'd like to do this Chris Thomas King song at an upcoming jam session. I've go this much of the lyrics (off Down from the Mountain) can anyone correct this or fill in the rest?
Moonshine whiskey ought to be a crime
when I start drinkin', I'm bound to lose my mind
Oh brother [something] give me [something] time

Now what's that smokin' yonder across the hills
Looks like our secret hideaway we've had so many years
John Law done come and run us away from here

Chorus
He burned down the liquor store
He burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
John Law burned down the liquor store
Without bootleg liquor, where we gonna go

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

Chorus

[missing verse or two]

Good morning, judge, what may be my fine
When the judge take my whiskey he didn't give me no time
He said "Could you make me some more of your moonshine?"

Chorus

Thanks, Áine. I haven't been on for a while and have forgotten my normal code name. Until I get it from Joe, it looks like I can't get anything from the link you left. But I imagine I'll be able to before long.

I couldn't access it either, but when I deleted the "dev" before mudcat in the address, it came right up. So, try this GUEST,Frisbee:

Sorry 'bout that, guys. I've fixed the original link now. And thanks for providing a blue clicky thing that worked, Giac! ;-)

All the best, Áine
