lyrics

Otis Had a Whiskey Still (Lamb & Watson)

Otis had a whiskey still
Way on up in them Tennessee hills
Found a spring down in a hollow
Where the law could never follow

He was down there cookin' up some mash
Tryin' to make himself some quick cash
When the devil, he suddenly appeared
Sittin' on a log and drinkin' a beer

Otis smiled and said, “I've been waitin'
I knew that you would find me Satan
Devil said, “Otis, lets make a deal
But you know you’re soul ain't worth a two bit meal

But listen here, I've got a plan
Otis you’re gonna be a very wealthy man
A partnership's what I've got in mind
Once we've got this here contract signed

Otis laughed and signed his name
Said, “Devil you and me, we think the same
Devil cut his finger that wore a ring
Dripped his black blood into Otis’s spring

When that white lightning hit the town
Murder and mayhem also went around
Otis profited beyond his dreams
Left town a rich man because of the scheme
