Fastest Grass Alive Songtext
von The Osborne Brothers

(Paul Craft)

The most wanted, fastest grass alive
Living' somewhere on that mountain side
Finger picking good Kentucky fried
Wanted the fastest grass alive.

Up Rocky Top there live the Breaden brothers
Alvis Rufus Festus Fred and Little Will
They could lay that bluegrass down slicker than a blue tip hound
And smoother than the moonshine from their still.

The most wanted, fastest grass alive
Living' somewhere on that mountain side
Finger picking good Kentucky fried
Wanted the fastest grass alive.

--- Instrumental ---


They'd been the five most wanted men in Lester County
Since their reputation reached the county seat.

The most wanted, fastest grass alive
Living' somewhere on that mountain side
Finger picking good Kentucky fried
Wanted the fastest grass alive.

--- Instrumental ---

The sheriff sent a posse up that mountain
He said place them Breaden boys under arrest
But the posse went stone blind over music and moonshine
They must be up there more friendly
They ain't come down the mountain yet.

The most wanted, fastest grass alive
Living' somewhere on that mountain side
Finger picking good Kentucky fried
Wanted the fastest grass alive...
