Swamp Water Whisky (2024, Dave and Kathy Bell)

Mama worked her fingers down to the bone,
doing her best to make this place a home.
Daddy ran moonshine down the river bend,
keeping both eyes open, him and his friends.

Daddy got caught and mamas all alone,
running the still 'till he comes back home.
Her stomach filled with constant dread,
as she struggles to keep her family fed.

She's got no choice with her back to the wall,
working by the river where the bullfrogs call.
Making swamp whisky is all we they know,
passed down from generations, like the rivers flow.

Chorus:
Swamp water whiskey, hotter than fire,
keep you up at night, fuel your desire
Surrounded by the Mississippi mud,
swamp water whiskey flowing through our blood.
