Run Johnny Run Lyrics

Johnny had a moonshine still in a bottom of a holler at the foot of the hill
He woke up about break of day
Thought he heard his grandpa say

"Run Johnny run or the Feds will get ya
Better get away, better get away"

He went up to the top of the hill and he saw them Feds around his still
They busted the barrel and the boiler too
Started drinking his homemade brew

He said
"Hey there that's my property, you got no right so leave it be
An honest living is hard to make, and the revenue man is on the take"

Run Johnny run they gonna get ya
Better get away, better get away

The Feds caught Johnny making a run and took him up to Washington
Put him to work for the government
Making moonshine for the president

Run Johnny run they gonna get ya
Better get away, better get away

Johnny got rich off the Government's stills and ran off away to his home in the hills
And now the Feds are on his track
He still owes a dollar on the whiskey tax

Run Johnny run they gonna get ya
Better get away, better get away
Better get away, better get away
