Bag of whiskey on my back
|
And the sheriff is on my track
|
I'm gonna make it through the world
|
If I can
|
|
I'd take your worst to go my bail
|
'Ruther to go to the county jail
|
You better make it through the world
|
If you can
|
|
If you can, if you can
|
You better make it through the world
|
If you can
|
|
If you want to have to leave home
|
You just stick wit' a bottle of corn
|
You have to make it through the world
|
If you can
|
|
You may think they's doin' you wrong
|
But they'll send ya to the county farm
|
You better make it through the world
|
If you can
|
|
If you can, if you can
|
You've gotta fake it to the world
|
If you can
|
|
When you go out for a load
|
The sheriff will stop you on the road
|
You'll have to make it to the world
|
If you can
|
|
It's a real surprisin' thing
|
That to hear those .44's ring
|
You better fake it to the world
|
If you can
|
|
If you can, if you can
|
You've gotta fake it to the world if you can
|

|
|
'Boy, they'll sure get you here about liquor'
|
|
(fiddle & guitar)
|
|
Ev'ra since that state went dry
|
The bootleggers have to stand shy
|
They gonna keep out the way of the sheriff
|
If they can
|
|
If they can, if they can
|
They gonna keep out the way a-the sheriffs
|
If they can.
