Now I can straighten your wires
you know poor Vasser can grind your valves
Now I can straighten your wires
you know poor Vasser can grind your valves
Man when I turn your motor loose
and it sure will split the air

Now Vasser can line your wheels
you know poor Vasser can tune your horn
Now he can line your wheels
you know poor Vasser can tune your horn
Then when he set it out on the highway
you can hear your motor hum

Now my generator is bad
and you know my lights done stopped
Now my generator is bad
and you know my lights done stopped
And I reckon I better take it over to Durhamville
and I'm going to stop at Vasser Williams' shop

Now I were raised in Lau'erdale County
you know I was schooled on Winfield Lane
Now I were raised in Lau'erdale County
and I was schooled on Winfield Lane
Then what I made of myself
I declare it was the cryingest shame

Now Brownsville is my home
and you know I ain't going to throw it down
Now Brownsville is my home
and you know I ain't going to throw it down
Because I'm 'quainted with John Law
and they won't let me down
