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

Verse 2
     Am
Well we ran pipe from the creek bed
               D         C        Am
Through the woods to the old grey shack
       Am
It was worth the trouble to work them shovels
        C        D       Am
For granddaddy's sour mash stash
        Am
All the weeds and pecan trees hid his secret
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
N.C.     Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
                   D    Am
Where the creek is high
         Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
      D        C      Am
Where only the moon shines

Verse 3
        Am
Without money you can't buy nothin'
    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            C      Am
Cookin' in a copper still
Am                      C
Everybody knew where to get their brew
         G               Am
And that made our family name
Chorus
N.C.     Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
                   D    Am
Where the creek is high
         Am
Lord I'm down in the gulley
      D        C      Am
Where only the moon shines

Verse 4
    Am
The 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 and he brought his best to
C
  Tear our old shack down
              D                     C
But when they went for the stash my granddaddy laughed
        Am    N.C.
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        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        C      Am
Where only the moon shines
