Lyrics
well you better shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', got a big load of booze that they'll soon be a-haulin', they're running every night when the whipporwill is callin', so shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', old uncle bill's got a still on a hill, he never worked a day and i guess he never will, he runs shine liquor that he sells it to paw, it made maw mad and she called the law, well you better shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', got a big load of booze that they'll soon be a-haulin', they're running every night when the whipporwill is callin', so shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', well, maw put the sheriff on uncle bill's trail, she said, "catch that sock and throw him in jail, he run out and left his wife as the little kids squallin', so shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin'", yeah, you better shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', got a big load of booze that they'll soon be a-haulin', they're running every night when the whipporwill is callin', so shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', uncle bill held the bottle 'tween his finger and thumb, he said if i leave any, you can have some, make him reach into his pocket for his last thin dime, and wear summer britches in the cold winter time, yeah, you better shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', got a big load of booze that they'll soon be a-haulin', they're running every night when the whipporwill is callin', so shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', you better shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin', got a big load of booze that they'll soon be a-haulin', they're running every night when the whipporwill is callin', so shoot low sheriff 'cause they might be crawlin'
