[Verse 3]
        
Without money 

you can't buy 

nothin'
             
And nothin' is

           
 a damned ol' 


shame
            
When you're in

 the hole
              
You'd sell you

              
r soul for run

             
nin' water ins

             
tead of rain
         
Well the hills

 were filled w

ith the smell 

of cash
             
Cookin' in the

     
 copper still
            
Everybody knew

            
 where they ge

t their brew
             
And that made 

           
our family nam

e

[Chorus]
         
Lord I'm down 

in the gulley
              
Where the cree

         
k is high
         
Lord I'm down 

in the gulley
             
Where only the

   
 moon shines

[Verse 4]
     
Well years and

 laws passed b

y
     
They couldn't 

keep the count

y dry
              
One night, the

 
 sheriff went 

to lookin'
             
For the man wh

              
o was cookin' 

     
that bootleg m

oonshine
        
Well he called

 the press
              
And he brought

             
 his best to t

ear our old sh

ack down
              
But when they 

             
went for the s

        
tash my grandd

addy laughed
        
For the shack 

was a pump hou

[Chorus]
         
Lord I'm down 

in the gulley
              
Where the cree

         
k is high
         
Lord I'm down 

in the gulley
             
Where only the

   
 moon shines

       
It was down in

 the gulley
              
Where the cree

         
k is high
         
Lord I'm down 

in the gulley
             
Where only the

   
 moon shines
