G
Well when I was a little bitty boy
                        D7
No bigger than an old polecat
       G
Well I used to wonder like all kids
     D7           G
What made this do that

N.C.
Now I'd seen what happened to my pa
                            D7
When he take a drink from a jug
          G
Yeah he'd start with a smile and then after awhile
        D7                      G
He'd be out on the floor like a rug

     C           G
Corn liquor corn liquor
                          D7
What makes you do what you do
          G
Well they feel no pain when you touch their brain
     D7               G
Corn liquor they love you

N.C.
Well now one day in the afternoon
                       D7
My folks were away for awhile
       G
Yeah I got the jug down from the shelf
       D7            G
To see what made 'em smile

N.C.
Now I slowly sipped and I nearly flipped
                   D7
That one drink was enough
        G
For the life of me I just can't see
         D7              G
Why they love that awful stuff

N.C.
Well as I grew older I thought about
                      D7
That first sip that I had
       G
Yeah I really burned and soon I learned
   D7              G
It wasn't all that bad

N.C.
Now to ease the pressures of this world
                           D7
Here's the way I've got it figured
         G
Well the thing to do for me and you
         D7              G
