real money, Doo.

more whiskey than I can make.
But I heard you'd
been stealing some
from the boys
over in Greasy Creek.

run on Greasy Creek, Doo.
You got that jeep.
You know how to use a gun
and you can use you a job.
I'll go 50-50 with you.
Doo, if you're born in the
mountains, you got three choices,
coal mine, moonshine
or moving on down the line.

fortune-teller to know that.
(SINGING)
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And I shiver
when the cold wind blows
The longest train
I ever saw
Was on that Georgia line
The purtiest boy
I ever saw
Was on that caboose behind
In the pines...
(GUNSHOT)
(GRUNTS)
Good thing you wasn't
still working for him, son.
You'd be laying there
aside him.
I know that, Daddy.
Course if you had have
been working for him,
at least you'd have
been working somewhere.
