Letra de Earle Byrd From Mexia - Muscadine Bloodline

You know ol' Earle Byrd down 'round Mexia

Frisco's the closest town

Take a ride off the blacktop onto the chirt rock

Take you right by his house

He got a cur dog chained to a dogwood

And a mule that's meaner than shit

He's got him a champion fighting rooster

That chicken's the pride of the Uriah pit

Served his country in Korea

Served his time up in a cell

For cooking up good homemade corn liquor

The kind that make a man go blind

Kind that make a poor man richer

When the folks vote the county dry

Kind that'll get you there quicker

Put some slack back in your jaw

I'm talking that good homemade corn liquor

Earl Byrd's been brewing since the crack of dawn

Well now, ol' Earle Byrd is an outlaw

Sutton of the South

Was the last of a breed, didn't brag

Didn't need you to run off and run your mouth

Well now, one time, the grape vine wind and wind

Through the hollers up in Perdue Hill

Well, then follow the smoke stack way off the two-track

And that's where they found the still

Did a ten year stint in Atmore prison

Farming in the fields

For cooking up good homemade corn liquor

The kind that make a man go blind

Kind that make a poor man richer

When the folks vote the county dry

Kind that'll get you there quicker

Put some slack back in your jaw

I'm talking that good homemade corn liquor

Earl Byrd's been brewing since the crack of dawn

Mm, well now, ol' Earle Byrd is ninety-something, sitting on the porch

Sippin' Nehi nawin' on a sugarcane shoe

Ride out to the house and he'll tell you all about

All the rotgut rye that he used to brew

He's a mountain of a man from Monroe and Lord knows

He don't deny nothing of the premonition

Tired of good ol' boys from south Alabama

Make a living during prohibition

Cooking up good homemade corn liquor

The kind that make a man go blind

Kind that make a poor man richer

When the folks vote the county dry

Kind that'll get you there quicker

Put some slack back in your jaw

I'm talking that good homemade corn liquor

Earl Byrd's been brewing since the crack of dawn

'Til the crack of dawn

Yeah, 'til the crack of dawn
