Текст песни Big Dipper (Wrinkle Neck Mules) с переводом

Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?

And what of their stills in the pine?

Is their kettle still burning hot?

Or has that still run dry?

Papa was a whiskey man and his before him

Now so am I

Lord knows I miss them but I know I’m not alone

When I look up to the night sky

Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?

I’ve been told that they’re living in that Big Dipper in the sky

It’s their kettle’s still burning bright

When I’m alone out there in the middle of the night

Sitting with my corn and my wine

I look up through the pines and give a nod to that Big Dipper in the sky

Way down south Georgia 1932

Old Uncle John was in a bind

Owned himself the only general store for miles

Controlled all the farming supplies

Wasn’t long before the IOU’s piled up

People just couldn’t pay

So he closed that store and up into the woods

He went back to that moonshine

Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?

I’ve been told that they’re living in that Big Dipper in the sky

It’s their kettle’s still burning bright

When I’m alone out there in the middle of the night

Sitting with my corn and my wine

I look up through the pines and give a nod to that Big Dipper in the sky

And I know that they’ll walk with me

When it’s time for me to pass into the great by and by

And I pray the Lord will forgive me

'Cause even Jesus Christ could use a little wine

Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?

And what of their stills in the pine?

Is that kettle still burning hot?

Or has that still run dry?

Where do the old moonshiners go when they die?

I’ve been told that they’re living in that Big Dipper in the sky

That’s their kettle’s still burning bright

When I’m alone out there in the pines

Sitting with my corn and my wine

I look up through the pines and give a nod to that Big Dipper in the sky

I look up through the pines and give a nod to that Big Dipper in the sky
