Whiskey Selling Woman Lyrics

I feel superstitions, somethin's going on wrong
I feel superstitions, somethin's going on wrong
I've got my house full of beer and my backyard full of corn
I've got four cases, tomorrow at that county jail
I've got four cases, tomorrow at that county jail
And two is for my whisky, and two is for my forfeit bail
The judge he said to put a padlock on my door
The judge he said to put a padlock on my door
And I can't sell whisky, and I can't give parties no more
I will sell my whisky to the chief of police in town
I will sell my whisky to the chief of police in town
And if he don't like my whisky, he's welcome to ride me down
If I had a thousand dollars, judge, I'd take my way
If I had a thousand dollars, judge, I'd take my way, hey, hey
And I would make this whole town sloppy drunk one day
I would build me a still on every street in this town
I would build me a still on every street in this town
And I wouldn't allow police eighteen miles around

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
