Claude Jones
Back in southern Virginia
There lived a legend of a man,
he took to runnin corn whiskey
all across this land
His name was Claude Jones,
made of nothing but skin and bones,
and he had a hair triggered temper,
he could change as quick as weather
Claude Jones, Claude Jones,
don't leave your family alone
When you're born a free born man,
apart from Uncle Sam,
y'know you gotta take that money any way that you can
Wake up, get up and go!
drink up, yeah put on a show!
before they bury you in the sand
You'll be standing just singing in that sun
while other bootleggers their lives are one and done
think about your family Claude now you're dead and gone
and may they be worthy to grace this land you walked upon
Claude Jones, Claude Jones, Claude Jones
so you will always live on
Solo
When you're born a free born man,
apart from Uncle Sam,
y'know damn well you take that money any way that you can
Wake up, get up and go!
drink up, put on a show!
before they bury you in the sand
You'll be standing Claude singing in that sun
while other bootleggers y'know their lives are one and done
just think about your family Claude now you're dead and gone
and may they be worthy to grace this land that you walked upon
Claude Jones, Claude Jones, Claude Jones
so you will always live on
There lived a legend of a man,
he took to runnin corn whiskey
all across this land
His name was Claude Jones,
made of nothing but skin and bones,
and he had a hair triggered temper,
he could change as quick as weather
Claude Jones, Claude Jones,
don't leave your family alone
When you're born a free born man,
apart from Uncle Sam,
y'know you gotta take that money any way that you can
Wake up, get up and go!
drink up, yeah put on a show!
before they bury you in the sand
You'll be standing just singing in that sun
while other bootleggers their lives are one and done

Claude Jones, Claude Jones, Claude Jones
so you will always live on
