Local Still Lyrics

Artist: Nazareth
Album: Sound Elixir

Itâ‚¬â„¢s three oâ‚¬â„¢clock in the morning
And theyâ‚¬â„¢re sayinâ‚¬â„¢ youâ‚¬â„¢ve had enough
But you want another drink
Good old north or southern stuff
Youâ‚¬â„¢re a boy from way down south
Folks from the old north
And itâ‚¬â„¢s friday night
Itâ‚¬â„¢s party night for you

King George he sent the excise men
The yankee revenuers
It donâ‚¬â„¢t matter what they try
Theyâ‚¬â„¢ll never stop the brewinâ‚¬â„¢
Because a man will take a glass
To make his spirits fly
On a friday night
Itâ‚¬â„¢s party night for you

They bring out laws and taxes
Try to cut you down
If you canâ‚¬â„¢t go to the corner bar
Then youâ‚¬â„¢ll go underground
So come on down to your local still
And buy yourself a thrill
On a friday night
Itâ‚¬â„¢s party night for you

* Whiskey the water of life
Thereâ‚¬â„¢s more to it than the pourinâ‚¬â„¢
Oiled the reel on the fiddle bow
And sent the music soarinâ‚¬â„¢
My old man and his old man
They knew what they were doinâ‚¬â„¢
Lovinâ‚¬â„¢ malt from the old land
And the corn from tennessee

If youâ‚¬â„¢re feelinâ‚¬â„¢ lowdown
You donâ‚¬â„¢t need no pill
Come along and join the clan
Support your local still
You can win your bar-room blues
Find that hazy delight
On a friday night
Itâ‚¬â„¢s party night for you

repeat *

Itâ‚¬â„¢s three oâ‚¬â„¢clock in the morning
And theyâ‚¬â„¢re sayinâ‚¬â„¢ youâ‚¬â„¢ve had enough
But you want another drink
Good old north or southern stuff
Youâ‚¬â„¢re a boy from way down south
Folks from the old north
And itâ‚¬â„¢s friday night
Itâ‚¬â„¢s party night for you.
