  • Bootleg, bootleg
    Bootleg, howl
    Bootleg, bootleg
    Bootleg, howl

    Take you a glass of water
    Make it against the law
    See how good the water tastes
    When you can't have any at all

    Bootleg, bootleg
    Bootleg, howl
    Bootleg, bootleg
    Bootleg, howl

    Findin' a natural woman
    Like honey to a bee

    But you don't buzz the flower
    When you know the honey's free

    Bootleg, bootleg
    Bootleg, howl
    Bootleg, bootleg
    Bootleg, howl

    Suzy maybe give you some cherry pie
    But lord, that ain't no fun
    A better you grab it when she ain't lookin'
    'Cause you know you'd rather have it on the run

    Bootleg, bootleg
    Bootleg, howl
    Bootleg, bootleg
    Bootleg, howl Writer/s: John Cameron Fogerty

  • Durwood Ball from Albuquerque, New Mexico"Bootleg howl" is incorrect. I'm pretty sure that the lyric "Bootleg holler," a place in the woods where the bootleggers conceal their still.
