Featherhead Jones

Featherhead Jones. Lives his life to make folks laugh,
walk a mile to make you smile
Featherhead Jones
There's a big house over by the railroad tracks
Featherhead Jones has a shack in the back
with pea-vines growing around the window sill
& revenuers looking for the whiskey still.
And Featherhead Jones.
Shouting hi ho Featherhead we know you're hiding
in the whiskey shed. We're the agents of the government;
to bring you in is why we're sent.

Featherhead Jones was hiding in a tree
bearing down with his 30 aught 3.
But he blew his cover 'cause he had to sneeze.
And a revenuer looked up into the leaves shouting
"Hi ho Featherhead! I see you hiding in the apple tree.
Please be good and come along with me.
Pay the fine and you'll go free."

Tried to inch up a little bit higher
but he snagged the gun on a piece of barbed wire
accidentally that old Weatherby fired
into federal agent McIntyre shouting
"Hi ho Featherhead, here's my pistol and a piece of lead.
On this slug there is a name; yours and it are both the same.
Featherhead Jones."
Lived his life to make folks laugh,
hit the ground without a sound.
