Poem
Here's another story about Granny I think she's probably done it all This was way back during prohibition When they outlawed alcohol See, my granny was a moonshiner This is about her very first still She had to make sure no revenuers Came snoopin' around her hill So she set up fifty-one booby traps Now It wasn't nothing too bad But anyone caught snoopin' around Would probably wish they never had See, my granny was like Davy Crockett She killed a bear when she was only three Well, a limb fell and hit him on the head While Granny was climbing up a tree Anyway, back to the moonshine still Granny made that still all by herself With some things she found in the yard And copper tubing she found on the shelf Now my granny didn't make ordinary shine Hers was something a little more special See, she didn't put it in old clay jugs This took a different kind of vessel Now, Granny's shine was known world wide They came from everywhere They're were even a few bald headed guys That swore that it made them grow hair Now my granny's secret recipe, was one of a kind I could tell you, but you would probably disappear So it's better that I keep this secret a secret Cause my granny has some real good ears Then late one night, a revenuer came He was fixin' to take my granny to jail Til he stepped in one of her booby traps And started screaming about the horrible smell See my granny had put some skunk pee Inside one of those booby traps And when they stepped on one of her triggers It squirted it all over their laps Well, prohibition finally ended They called Granny the "Moonshine Queen" That little old lady never got caught And was the richest moonshiner I've ever seen
