Lyrics Black Liquor - Dash Rip Rock

Mississippi girl
Raised on the Pearl
Working at the plant
It's a Bogalusa world
Fast as a thought, sleek as a fox
They laid her in the ground in a white pine box
Her mama had no idea what they were drinking

Davey river rat
Been to Nam and back
Living on a houseboat
Back of Johnny's shack
Eating fat mudcat off a trot line
Doctor had some bad news say you ain't got much time
That old black water done ate up your insides

Black liquor black liquor
Pouring from the pipe
You know that black liquor's
Gonna mess up your life
Stab the Pearl river with a rusty old knife
Bottoms up bottoms down, stick him in the ground
People got to drink the black liquor

Everyone alive
Dies by 55
In the stroke belt we raise a little hell
Dancing on our graves
Drink away our days
Building one by one the cities of the dead
