lyrics

Widow Mullins
There’s a cabin at the top, on top of a winding ridge. That’s where Widow Mullins lived with nearly 20 kids. Some just died and some did not, surviving kids just helped their Ma.
Local cops and revenuers, they knew what she did. Made best moonshine bucks buy within 500 miles. It’s juicy apples, tasty peaches. Her brandy – it was first rate. Widow Mullins sold a lot – made good money for herself and her kids.
One heartfelt yell for this rebel, Widow Mullins, a toast to you!
Not one dozen men could get her to the bottom of the ridge. „Catch­able, not fetchable“ – locals proudly said. Kept teasin’ authorities, „take me if you can!“ They could not so the dogs of law kept busting her stills.
This Mullins Widow and her kids, they all sure rolled their eyes. They knew their stuff, within one week a better still was built. And at the age of 74 her life came to an end. ­Rumors said it was the dogs of law.
