The song "Julianne" by George Jones tells the story of a woman named Julianne who comes from a poor mountain clan. She is described as being special, wearing lace and a yellow ribbon. Julianne has made a vow to never love a mountain man, considering them to be rotten and dirty. The song implies that Julianne desires a better life and wants to be with a man who is not involved in the whiskey business like her family. Her parents and sister make money at Bill Mountain Dan, presumably a place where they sell whiskey. However, nobody ever buys from Julianne. One Friday night, when Bill Mountain Dan runs out of whiskey, Julianne takes the opportunity to ride down the mountain with him. It is hinted that she had been sent before and is now deciding to leave for good. The narrator, who is presumably Bill Mountain Dan himself, declares that he won't let go of Julianne, indicating his love for her. Overall, the song reflects Julianne's desire for a different life away from her mountain clan and her determination to find love with a man who is not tainted by whiskey.
