[Verse 1]
Am
Well my granddaddy was a good man
D D/C Am
No matter what the papers say
Am
He worked 'til he bled for everything he had
C D
Brought us up to do the same
Am
One afternoon in June
D D/C Am
He had us workin' just like a couple mules
Am C
My cousin and me were twenty feet deep
G
And covered in red mud clay

[Verse 2]
Am
Well we ran pipe from the creek bed
D D/C Am
Through the woods to the old grey shack
Am
It was worth the trouble to work them shovels
C D
For granddaddy's sour mash stash
Am
All the weeds and pecan trees hid a secret
D D/C Am
We all swore to keep
Am C
Well my granddaddy knew what the law would do
G Am
If they ever come snoopin' 'round back
[Chorus]
Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
D Am
Where the creek is high
Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
D D/C Am
Where only the moon shines

[Verse 3]
Am
Without money you can't buy nothin'
D D/C Am
And nothin' is a damned ol' shame
Am
When you're in the hole
C D Am
You'd sell your soul for runnin' water instead of rain
Am
Well the hills were filled with the smell of cash
D D/C Am
Cookin' in the copper still
Am C
Everybody knew where they get their brew
G Am
And that made our family name
[Chorus]
Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
D Am
Where the creek is high
Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
D D/C Am
Where only the moon shines

[Verse 4]
Am
Well years and laws passed by
C
They couldn't keep the county dry
D
One night, the sheriff went to lookin'
C Am
For the man who was cookin' that bootleg moonshine
Am
Well he called the press
C
And he brought his best to tear our old shack down
D C
But when they went for the stash my granddaddy laughed
Am
For the shack was a pump house
[Chorus]
Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
D Am
Where the creek is high
Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
D D/C Am
Where only the moon shines
Am
It was down in the gulley
D Am
Where the creek is high
Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
D D/C Am
Where only the moon shines
