Lyrics

Sour Mash

Papa played bass
Mama played fiddle
I played mama
Hey diddle diddle

Jake sang low
Daisy sang high
But I’m the one
Made Daisy cry

I gotta secret
way out back
Liquid lightning
in a hoochie shack

Had me a dog
Good ole Fred
Drank my mash
It killed him dead (killed my dog dead)

Fred lies now
in the shady hills
in the piney woods
by a copper still

Grayley played hambone
on his missing leg
ever since Fred
stole his mumbly peg

Sheriff Dan Grandy
stanky breath
Ham handed dandy
meaner than death

Dandy Dan
brought his handy axe
Broke my still
with forty whacks

Hey nannie nannie
sha na na
Got me a shotgun
shot the law

Got me a shovel
Made him a bed
Dandy Dan sleeps
next to good ole Fred

Flatt and Scruggs
on the radio
A girl’s got ta know
when it’s time to go

Hey diddle diddle
and a digeridoo
Point me down the middle
County Rd Thirty Two

Gave Daisy a ring
and he kissed her slow
Said come on baby
We gots ta’ go

Daisy got a pup
His name is Blue
She held him like a baby
And away we flew (on down the road)

Jugs and washboard
Hoot and holler
Jars of shine
Pigs in the waller

Jake sang low
Daisy sang high
But I’m the one that made Daisy cry

I’m the one that made Daisy cry
I’m the one that made Daisy
I’m the one that made Daisy cry..
