Daddy was a Cajun baby, raised on Southern land So my kinfolk tell me, was a street-fightin' man.
Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor "Hey doctor, check his head" The only thing thats wrong with him Is Uncle Johnny’s Red He drank ole bootleg whiskey 'Til it killed him dead.
It happened back in the bayou baby many years ago
Satan came to take him and he did it real slow Well, they rushed him back to see the doctor Yeah the doctor just shook his head, "Twenty years of rotgut whiskey Done killed the poor man dead." He drank ole bootleg whiskey And it killed him dead.
Take a tip from me, people... brother can't you see Ain't no future in ole poison whiskey. They're gonna rush you down to see the doctor, Yeah the doctor gonna check your head. The only thing he's gonna tell ya baby "Stop drinkin' Uncle Juohnny’s Red Don't drink poison whiskey, don't you drink it boy.
