Billy's Still

(key of G)

My Uncle Billy had a homemade still
Billy and his boys were making shine
The law climbed up those mountains
Searching for ol' Billy's still
Hidden up among those Smokey Mountain pines

People came from miles around
To get ol' Billy's brew
And if you couldn't make it
He would drive it down to you
In a souped-up nineteen fifty-six
It ran good but had some rust
And when the sheriff and his men took chase
Billy let em' eat his dust

(Chorus)
Billy the long arm of the law's
Gonna try and take you down
If you keep taking chances
Running shine right through the town
Billy you're a wild one
And I hope someday you'll see
That luck will carry you just so far
In Jamestown, Tennessee

(Musical Break)

Uncle Billy he was never one
For sitting in the pews
But you could find him Sunday morn
Outside to welcome you
To the ladies he would tip his hat
To the men he'd wink an eye
A sign his truck was loaded full of shine
And he'd be waiting right outside

(Chorus)
Billy the long arm of the law's
Gonna try and take you down
If you keep taking chances
Running shine right through the town
Billy you're a wild one
And I hope someday you'll see
That luck will carry you just so far
In Jamestown, Tennessee

(Chorus)
Billy the long arm of the law's
Gonna try and take you down
If you keep taking chances
Running shine right through the town
Billy you're a wild one
And I hope someday you'll see
That luck will carry you just so far
In Jamestown, Tennessee
