Daddy was a Cajun baby, raised on Southern land 
So my kinfolk tell me, was a street-fightin' man.
 
Well, [bad word] him down to see the doctor 
"Hey doctor, check his head" 
The only thing thats wrong with him 
Is Uncle Johnny’s Red 
He drank ole bootleg whiskey 
'Til it killed him dead.

It happened back in the bayou baby many years ago
 
Satan came to take him and he did it real slow 
Well, [bad word] him back to see the doctor 
Yeah the doctor just shook his head, 
"Twenty years of rotgut whiskey 
Done killed the poor man dead." 
He drank ole bootleg whiskey 
And it killed him dead.

Take a tip from me, people... brother can't you
 see 
Ain't no future in ole poison whiskey. 
They're [bad word] you down to see the doctor, 
Yeah the doctor gonna check your head. 
The only thing he's gonna tell ya baby
"Stop drinkin' Uncle Juohnny’s Red 
Don't drink poison whiskey, don't you drink it
 boy.
