He left home in ’49 and headed West in hopes to find The gold he was told hides in the hills His pockets filled with nuggets and thrills He brought along a recipe for shine A poor boy from Mississippi found a new way in the West He knew about corn whiskey and the secrets to make it best He found wealth untold Shine for gold In California, he built a still and a store to pay the bills He never had to pan the streams Money rolled in from shattered dreams They entered empty and he gave them their fill A poor boy from Mississippi found a new way in the West He knew about corn whiskey and the secrets to make it best He found wealth untold Shine for gold Every morning they’d line up at the door Drinking him dry, craving more for ore He’d pour as their poor guts spilled out on the floor They cleaned out the store He shut down in ’65, a letter from home arrived One night a fight in the town, cold-hearted Yankees burned it down He headed back with passion divine As he headed back to Mississippi, loaded up all of his wealth And he packed up his corn whiskey To boost morale and health But his luck didn’t hold On his tombstone they wrote Shine for gold Shine on
