Popcorn Sutton

Popcorn has flown away

Not to jail

But to the other side

Of the vale

Legendary moon shiner

Choose death as being kinder

Than living behind a prison bar

Play a little Bluegrass…

Say a little prayer as you pass the jar…

Popcorn Sutton had become a legend

in the Tennessee mountains.
