[Verse 1]
Bootlegger, bootlegger, please bring me wine, oh
I think my heart is failing me and it feels like I'm dying
I need to blur the lines again on the shape that I'm in
If you can't find me wine, won't you please bring some gin?
[Verse 2]
Oh bootlegger, bootlegger, please bring me gin
Just can't seem to shake my nerves, from the places that I've been
I'd slip on in to somewhere free if I could only wet my gums
If you can't find me gin, won't ya please bring some rum?
[Chorus]
Oh won't you bring me anything that'll flood my mind?
Wash away thе memory of the love that lеft me dry
[Verse 3]
Oh bootlegger, bootlegger, please bring me rum
I need to get a jump on all the heartache sure to come
I swear I'd wash it all away if I was strong enough to try
If you can't find that rum, whiskey rye'll do just fine
[Verse 4]
Oh bootlegger, bootlegger, bring that whiskey rye
Cause there's hell hounds chained inside of me, I'm gonna let 'em run tonight
I'd pray to God to wash me clean if I was just the praying kind
So let me howl with the devil in a jar of Ozark shine
[Chorus]
Oh won't you bring me anything that'll flood my mind?
Wash away the memory of the love that left me dry
[Verse 5]
Oh bootlegger, bootlegger, don't you come 'round no more
No matter how I beg and plead, don't you darken my door
I'm tired of drowning in this pain, so I'm kicking for the shore
So bootlegger, bootlegger, don't you come 'round no more
I said bootlegger, bootlegger, don't you come 'round no more
