references to The Polk family from American Horror Story, 'My Roanoke Nightmare' and the Farrell family from the short lived TV series 'Outsiders' who are relatives of the Wattingers. The Farrell clan made potent moonshine called Farrell wine.
lyrics
Me and my boys took a trip to Southern Kentucky
To take the liver of a man who drank the wine
Made by the Farrell family.
Claggy Bartlett was his name, he was a sheriff in Paducah city
He was as long as he was wide, he was the widest longpig you ever did see
Now moonshine sets your liver rotten hard
But not so Farrell wine, Bartlett’s liver turned to paté.
With an exquisite bouquet, impossible to define
His liver ran through our fingers
Down into the pails we brought
And when we brought him back we sold him packed
From our family butchers stall
Well we did that trip to Old Kentucky
My boys and I we took the liver
Of the man who was the sheriff in Paducah City
The Polks and the Farrells are distant cousins of mine
Separated back, along in time
The Polks and the Wattingers gone down the butcher’s line
The Farrells have their ‘druthers in the moonshine wine
supported by 5 fans who also own “The Widest Longpig You Ever Did See”
Got the album cos I love the track Evil Driving Rain by the Wattingers. The rest of the tracks are an added bonus. Great compilation and brill value for the money. Robert Wallace
