Mountain Brandy - Colby T. Helms Lyrics
Mountain Brandy
Mama got sick last year, she was laid out in the bed
Doctor came to her side said she got the fever in her head
There was only one thing to ease her through the night
Sit back mama, take a sip, everything's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
Mountain brandy, it's made out in these hills
The best liquor ever run comes from those Franklin County stills
Mountain brandy in a green Ball mason jar
[Verse 2]
I was walking out through the woods on a cold December night
Out through the distance, I smelled wood smoke and saw a fading light
I'd always heard those rumors, so I sat out in that hollow
The old man shook my hand, sat me down and he gave me a swallow as he said
[Chorus]
Mountain brandy, it's made out in these hills
The best liquor ever run comes from those Franklin County stills
Mountain brandy in a green Ball mason jar
Sit back, mama, take a sip, it'll take you far
[Verse 3]
The old folks have been dying out and all the Yanks are moving in
Lots of folks around town been talking 'bout them old ways coming to an end
As long as them geese fly north and that creek runs south
You can run my holler, you shake my can shake my hand, I got something that'll shut that mouth
[Chorus]
Mountain brandy, it's made out in these hills
The best liquor ever run comes from those Franklin County stills
Mountain brandy in a green Ball mason jar
Sit back, mama, take a sip, it'll take you far
