Okfuskee Whiskey by James Robert Webb Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Halfway between the Deep wolf dam and Buckeye creek
Amongst the brier thickets and the black jack trees
Papa lived there in a rusty tin roof shack
Where the blacksmiths forge that poured out clouds of smoke outback
And when the markets crashed and the hard times came
The law looked the other way
[Chorus]
And he made Okfuskee whiskey
Papa grew from Oklahoma corn
Okfuskee whiskey
Yeah, it burned like fire straight out of his forge
Okfuskee whiskey
[Verse 2]
All the way from Boulder down to New Orleans
And every once horse map dot town in between
He was haulin' hundred proof out underneath the stars
Long before the interstates and Dale Earnhardt
Shippin' and shinin' that Pontiac with the [?] starts slippin' 'em back
[Chorus]
Okfuskee whiskey
Papa grew from Oklahoma corn
Okfuskee whiskey
Yeah, it burned like fire straight out of his forge
Okfuskee whiskey
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
To this day over there on Shannon Hill
The revenuers never found my granddad's still
But I got into blacksmithen, fired up that forge
There's a break on a stump 'bout a hundred yards from the porch
So when the midnight comes leave a twenty and a five
When you come back you'll find
[Chorus]
Okfuskee whiskey
It's still grew from Oklahoma corn
Okfuskee whiskey
Still burns like fire straight out of this forge
Okfuskee whiskey
Okfuskee whiskey
Halfway between the Deep wolf dam and Buckeye creek
Amongst the brier thickets and the black jack trees
Papa lived there in a rusty tin roof shack
Where the blacksmiths forge that poured out clouds of smoke outback
And when the markets crashed and the hard times came
The law looked the other way
[Chorus]
And he made Okfuskee whiskey
Papa grew from Oklahoma corn
Okfuskee whiskey
Yeah, it burned like fire straight out of his forge
Okfuskee whiskey
[Verse 2]
All the way from Boulder down to New Orleans
And every once horse map dot town in between
He was haulin' hundred proof out underneath the stars
Long before the interstates and Dale Earnhardt
Shippin' and shinin' that Pontiac with the [?] starts slippin' 'em back
[Chorus]
Okfuskee whiskey
Papa grew from Oklahoma corn
Okfuskee whiskey
Yeah, it burned like fire straight out of his forge
Okfuskee whiskey
[Instrumental]

Okfuskee whiskey
