Well when I was a little bitty boy 
                        D7 
No bigger than an old polecat 
       G 
Well I used to wonder like all kids 
     D7           G 
What made this do that 

N.C. 
Now I'd seen what happened to my pa 
                            D7 
When he take a drink from a jug 
          G 
Yeah he'd start with a smile and then after awhile 
        D7                      G 
He'd be out on the floor like a rug 

     C           G 
Corn liquor corn liquor 
                          D7 
What makes you do what you do 
          G 
Well they feel no pain when you touch their brain 
     D7               G 
Corn liquor they love you 

N.C. 
Well now one day in the afternoon 
                       D7 
My folks were away for awhile 
       G 
Yeah I got the jug down from the shelf 
       D7            G 
To see what made 'em smile 

N.C. 
Now I slowly sipped and I nearly flipped 
                   D7 
That one drink was enough 
        G 
For the life of me I just can't see 
         D7              G 
Why they love that awful stuff 

N.C. 
Well as I grew older I thought about 
                      D7 
That first sip that I had 
       G 
Yeah I really burned and soon I learned 
   D7              G 
It wasn't all that bad 

N.C. 
Now to ease the pressures of this world 
                           D7 
Here's the way I've got it figured 
         G 
Well the thing to do for me and you 
         D7              G 
Is drink lotsa good corn liquor
