Now old uncle Ed Lee is bad to drink

Couldn't hold a job he'd just sit there and think

But he had two daughters that's both valedictorian

Graduated in May they never come back home again

Ed Lee and his wife alone at the house

She held his whiskey 'bove the sink she poured it all out

Now Ed Lee said Look here woman my job here is done

Packed up his books was out on the run

Built himself a shack on the Conecuh River

A pretty little place built out of fallen timber

His wife baked him a cake she said Daddy please come home

He said there's nothing here but us chickens and we prefer to be alone

Ed Lee lived off them old Norwegian sardines

He ordered classical literature from the magazine

Drank a whole entire bottle of whiskey every day

Until a pile of whiskey bottles began to grow in the shade

Bought himself a sack of that old Quikrete cement

Commenced to build himself a whiskey bottle fence

The Evan Williams the Jim Beam Jack Daniels oh you know what I mean

Stuff like Jameson Bushmills if he ever had any money

If he never had any money it was stuff like Ten High

Four Roses and Revillier

But he got to the bottom of a bottle of Old Crow and

Up up to heaven heaven here we go

Ed Lee died ladies and Gentleman just about 30 years ago

And somebody else lives there these days who it is we do know

His name is Jimmy Wilson holding up the back wall of Jimmy Wilson's tool shed

A little stretch of the that fence is still standing today

Stands about six feet high and ten feet wide

It's underneath an old cutler vine

Oh my God I cain't believe my eyes

Ed Lee's whiskey bottle fence is still standing high today

Yes it is ladies and gentleman headed down highway 41 South of Brewton Alabama

Its over the Conecuh River bridge headed down toward Pensacola Florida

A little town called Riverview to a cross roads at a Shell Station

White Horse Tavern take a left at the dirt road

Instead of taking a left you'll go to the boat launch and take a right

Three houses to the left off of Jimmy Wilson's land

Hey hoh well oh yeah
