Bootleg Rum Dum Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I love my whiskey : crazy about it as I can be
But my new bootlegger : well he's about to poison me
Took one drink last night : and it made me go stone blind
Got to run away : leave my sweet mama behind
Sometime one drink : make me act like a doggone fool
But two or three drinks : make me kick like a doggone
mule
Mama mama : don't treat your papa mean no more
Get full of my bootleg whiskey : make you fly through the
door
I'm a good man when I'm sober : but Lord Lord when I'm
drunk
If you see me reeling : mama go hide in your trunk
