Chorus:
Black powder and alcohol
When the states and the cities fall
When your back is against the wall,
Black powder and alcohol

Give me charcoal to the measure two
Send the bullet where you want it to
Give me sulfer to the measure three
Make that powder gonna keep you free
Give me salt peter, measure fifteen
Sweetest shootin' that you've ever seen

Gimme water, yeast, and veggie trash
Leave it sittin' in a slurry mash
When it's ready, put it in the still
If you can't heat it then the sunlight will
Draw the alcohol away, and then
Ya put the slurry back and start again

Booze will clean your cuts or run your car
You can make it anywhere you are
Black powder in your cartridge shell
Will send the robbers runnin' clean to hell
You can make 'em if you just know how,
So kids, remember what I'm tellin' you now

Again,

Yah
