Al Duvall - Mendo Shine Lyrics

If you're traveling north of 'Frisc
And you need a nip when the wind is brisk
Across the Mendocino line
A feller there makes a pretty good 'shine

On Murder Ridge you can smell the smoke
It takes ten cords of good dry oak
And fifteen barrels of mountain wine
To make one jug of Mendo Shine

I'd classify it fairly strong
You'll make a noise like a Chinese gong
Just one drink'd make a blind man see
Makes a turtle climb a redwood tree
Makes a tomcat court a sow
Makes a frog bite a gentleman cow
Just a dram and you'll pitch a fit
You'll flop and twitch likе an earthquake hit

On Murder Ridgе you can smell the smoke
It takes ten cords of good dry oak
And fifteen barrels of mountain wine
To make one jug of Mendo Shine
To make one jug of Mendo Shine

I put the jug down on the shelf
The cupboard slammed all by itself
My house got drunk and climbed the ridge
And picked a fight with a covered bridge
I spilled a drop on the graveyard path
Skulls popped up and started to laugh
Give a sip to your darling wife
And your kids will be drunk all of their life
On Murder Ridge you can smell the smoke
It takes ten cords of good dry oak
And fifteen barrels of mountain wine
To make a jug of Mendo Shine
To make one jug of Mendo Shine
