[Verse 1] Sun up on the tin roof Pan on the boil Mama tied her apron from the dust and the toil Rail line’s far away But the bills don’t care Got a hard-backed chair and a prayer in the air [Chorus] Whiskey barrel blues Rolling low and slow Whiskey barrel blues Where the hard days go I shake out my pockets Still I come up broke Whiskey barrel blues That’s the life I know [Verse 2] Muddy boots by the porch Red clay on the step Granddaddy’s old stories I ain’t forgot yet Harmonica crying like a train past town Slide guitar talking when the sun goes down [Chorus] Whiskey barrel blues Rolling low and slow Whiskey barrel blues Where the hard days go I shake out my pockets Still I come up broke Whiskey barrel blues That’s the life I know [Bridge] If the creek runs dry I’ll walk that line If the night stays long I’ll keep my time With a jug in my chest and a beat in my shoes I was born to these hard-luck Whiskey barrel blues [Chorus] Whiskey barrel blues Rolling low and slow Whiskey barrel blues Where the hard days go I shake out my pockets Still I come up broke Whiskey barrel blues That’s the life I know
