Ted Russell Kamp - Swamp Water Whiskey lyrics



v1:
He was king of the swamp and a guitar picker
on the outskirts of Baton Rouge
with a bottleneck slide and the juke joint liquor
he taught me about the blues

He grew a little corn and sugarcane
and he put it in the whiskey still
Everybody knows when you go down South
the blues don't pay the bills
He'd say how you gonna pay them bills?

Ch:
Swamp water Whiskey - fill the bottles up on a hickory stump
Swamp water Whiskey - load 'em on up in the back of the trunk
Swamp water Whiskey - come on Son and make a midnight run
Slide on over take a ride with me
cause you can't learn the blues without the Swamp Water Whiskey

v2:
we saw blue lights flashing in the rear view mirror
and we pulled right off the road
then old man Charlie just gave 'em a jar
and those men in blue done let us go
and we took off down the road (singing)

Ch:

Br:
it was a few years later that the feds caught on showed up
and they put him in the county pen federal
a 20 year sentence turned out to be life done took his life
and he never came back again
but I'll play his song again and again (come on)

Solo over Ch: (no breaks)

v3: (half verse, 1st half broken down)
You learn in life what you have to do
that every road has to end
but rules are just like a guitar string
and they're only made to bend
and sometimes you gotta do it again and again
