Summary
We're gonna take you up to McNairy County, Tennessee
Back in the days when Sheriff Buford Pusser ran things around there
Sheriff Buford Pusser was tryin' to clean up McNairy County, Tennessee
From all them bootleggers that was bringin' crime and corruption
And illegal liquor into his little dry county
And for his troubles he got ambushed and his wife was murdered
And his house got blown up, and they made a movie about it called Walking Tall
This is the other side of that story.
