I'll eat when I get hungry 
I'll drink when I get dry 
If the life I live don't kill me 
Then I guess I'll never die 
I'll tune up my fiddle 
I'll rosin up my bow 
And find a girl to hold me tight 
Anywhere I go 

Corn liquor corn liquor's what I cry 
If you don't give me corn liquor boy 
Somebody's gonna die 
Somebody's gonna die oh lord 
Somebody's gonna die 

If the creek it was corn liquor 
And I was a government man 
I'd drink the whole thing dry 
And tell the folks "Do what you can" 
Got a guitar in my left hand 
Got a pistol in my right 
And I don't give a good [bad word] 
If we play or if we fight 

Corn liquor corn liquor's what I yell 
If you don't give me corn liquor boy 
Then I'll see you in [bad word] 
Corn liquor corn liquor's what I cry 
If you don't give me corn liquor boy 
Somebody's gonna die 
Somebody's gonna die oh lord 
Somebody's gonna die 

If I spend all my money 
My money's mine alone 
And I ain't never killed a man 
What he left me to my own 
I'll make my own corn liquor 
I'll grow my own smoke too 
And if I drink and smoke till I can't stand up 
What the [bad word] is it to you 

Corn liquor corn liquor's what I yell 
If you don't give me corn liquor boy 
Then I'll see you in [bad word] 
Corn liquor corn liquor's what I cry 
If you don't give me corn liquor boy 
Somebody's gonna die 
Somebody's gonna die oh lord 
Somebody's gonna die
