This song has obvious connections to the moonshine trade in TN and AL. Many people in the '20s and '30s spend significant time away from their families in the hills distilling alcohol in small still camps. It seems this song illstates the hardships on families and the difficult life moonshines often engaged in to produce a product in seclusion. As the feds increased their crackdowns of still, the business became more diffcult and often times more violent. I just as confused about the "blood" line in the lyric posted above. Blue or greener...I'm confused.
