Old Uncle Bill's got a still on a hill

He never worked a day and I guess he never will

He runs shine liquor that he sells it to Paw

It made Maw mad and she called the law

Well you better shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin'

Got a big load of booze that they'll soon be a-haulin'

They're running every night when the whipporwill is callin'

Well, Maw put the sheriff on Uncle Bill's trail

She said, "Catch that sock and throw him in jail

He run out and left his wife as the little kids squallin'

So shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin'"

Uncle Bill held the bottle 'tween his finger and thumb

He said if I leave any, you can have some

Make him reach into his pocket for his last thin dime

And wear summer britches in the cold winter time

Yeah, you better shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin'

Got a big load of booze that they'll soon be a-haulin'

They're running every night when the whipporwill is callin'

So shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin'

You better shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin'
