YOU’VE GOT TO STOP DRINKING SHINE Gid Tanner, vocal w/ banjo, 12/6/1930 
(Spoken): "All right boys, the state says cut out that shine. That’s what you oughta do." 

1. The state has cut this whiskey out, But they let you have a little wine; Most everybody’s gettin’ on a drunk And they must be drinkin’ that shine. 

CHORUS: God don’t like it, I know (3) Scandal and a shame. God don’t like it, I know (3) Scandal and a shame. 

2. Some men won’t pay their honest debts, Let their bills get far behind; Draw their money every week And drink it all up in shine. 

CHO. 

3. This old world’s gwine-a be lost, Keep on like it’s goin’; God’s folk cannot have a church When the people are drinkin’ that shine. 

CHO. (with "It’s scandal and a shame" 1st time through) 

4. (They) say the yellow corn Makes the very best kind; Better go to makin’ it up in bread And stop that makin’ that shine. 

CHO. (with "It’s a scandal and a shame" both times) 
4. If you are a soldier of the cross, Make it up in your mind; Serve the Lord with all-a your might And stop that drinkin’ that shine. 
CHO. (with "It’s scandal and a shame" both times)
