Drink That Mash and Talk That Trash
Lester Flatt feat. Earl Scruggs
I remember it was back in the thirties I think we had nothin' to eat but there was plenty to drink Mom got the groceries on (commodities will) but pop'd trade them off and get sugar for the still so he could drink that mash and talk that trash
Now things were pretty bad but they could've been worse instead of eating gravy it could've been dirt Pop'd go and lean on a shovel all day more sugar money from the WPA and he'd spend it on mash so he could talk that trash
Now down in the valley lived old Maggie Hill she was just about a mile from pops moonshine still When mom and I would find ourselves alone We knew pop had found old Maggie home and they were drinking that mash and talking that trash
Now mom knew what was goin' on I know but she wasn't about to let it show I knew she wasn't goin' after pop today cause tomorrow he gets some money from the WPA but he would spend it on mash Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com so he could talk that trash
But Friday night mom took the shotgun down Heard a noise from the valley and looked all around It won't be long till that noise would stop that sawed-off for me (cried out a pop) 'cause he was drinking that mash and talking that trash
they said pop didn't have the chance of a mouse cause that sawed-off tore away half of the house and the judge told mom 'it's funny to me they'd bring you into court with such a plea' 'cause he was drinking that mash and talking that trash
Now if I know pop and where he's at he's still totin' sugar and a getting fat he just looks over and says 'let her burn, while me and old Satan bend another worm.' so we can drink that mash and talk that trash so we can drink that mash and talk that trash
(Unsure of phrases in brackets)
