Lyrics :

============================================

I never will forget the day the law come take my grandpa away

The found him up on sugar hill making, bootleg liquor in a moonshine still

Uncle Bill said, Grandpa you better run, High Sheriff is coming with a posse and a gun

Grandpa didn't want to go to jail; he took off a running down the Cumberland Trail

They said, Hey Hey, I better get my britches on the high sheriffs come and to take me to town

Hey Hey, I better get a move on, I better get a move on down

CHORUS:

You can't pick cotton if the fields ain't white

You can't stay sober on a Saturday night

You can't go courting if you get too old

You can't go driving if the wheels won't roll

Greenback money make the wheels go round

I'm gonna play my fiddle'til the sun goes down

Two weeks later he was back in town in a Cadillac car with the top rolled down

Girls in the front, girls in the back, whiskey in the jug, and money in the sack

Sitting in the backseat, jumping like a frog, grinning like a possum putting on a dog

New suit new hat twinkle in his eye, playing on his fiddle for the people passing by

He said, Hey Hey, give me a drink of water the sun is getting hotter and I think I'm getting dry

Hey Hey, doing what I ought-ta now, telling you the reason why...

CHORUS:

You can't pick cotton if the fields ain't white

You can't stay sober on a Saturday night

You can't go courting if you get too old

You can't go driving if the wheels won't roll

Greenback money make the wheels go round

I'm gonna play my fiddle'til the sun goes down

You know what this is almost like southern rap. Seriously he doesn't sing much he just says the words and saws his fiddle. I'm no fan of rap but i would love to see a crossover video with this song with some rap artist doing the lyrics and charlie playing fiddle.
