Once I had a cap full of dollars and a pocket
full of hairs I had a cap full of dollars and a pocket full of hairs
A barn full of mules, well,
well, a pestle full of canes.
I own a big pretty car and
a great big eight room house.

But since bad luck fell on me, well,
well, I ain't got as much as I'm out
Well, I lost everything I had,
it sure did break my heart
I lost everything I had,
it sure did break my heart
But I'm goin' back home, ooh, well, well,
and take a brand -new start
I'm goin' back down to
Kentucky, way out on the hill

So I can bootleg moonshine,
oh well we'll meet right from the still
All I need is an old wagon an
d a fair old nag
All I need is an old wagon and
a fair old nag
Cheers to holy moonshine, ooh, well,
we'll deliver it by the cake.
