Daddy was a hard-working [?]
Earned every dime of his pay
Never drank a drop of that devil's dark whiskey
And he won't let [?]
Mama was a faithful, God-fearing woman
Saved and sanctified
No doubt she raised up two good children
And with me, God knows she tried
But I got the bad side of the blood

'Cause I get deep into good corn liquor
I get stoned right out of my mind
I can roll like a stone, race like a river
The sun don't [sing/sink?] when I walk the line
Everybody else in the family tree
Turned out the opposite way from me
I got something they don't have
I got the bad side of the blood

'Cause I get deep into good corn liquor
I get stoned right out of my mind
I can roll like a stone, race like a river
The sun don't [sing/sink?] when I cross the line
Everybody else on the family tree
Turned out the opposite way from me
I got something they don't have
I got the bad side of the blood
Yes, I got the bad side of the blood
I got the bad side of the blood
