The Bootleggers Dream

Cat. #0384 (MFH #55) - As sung by Mr. Dillard Reeves, Huntsville, Arkansas on July 30, 1959

VERSE 1
I am thinking today of my ole home
Down among th hills of old Tenneessee
I been thinking today of my ole pals
And I wonder if they ever think of me

VERSE 2
O, I'm going to leave this ole jail tomorrow
Going to leave this ole jail, all alone
O, I'm going to be with my ole pals tomorrow
Never more will I leave there or to roam

VERSE 3
O, I told you boys, that I'd be with you
And I'm leaving tonight on th eastbound train
I can see from my window on th hillside
That th roses have all bloomed again
