I've been a moonshiner, For seventeen long years, I've spent all my money, On whiskey and beer, I go to some hollow, And sit at my still And if whiskey don't kill me, Then I don't know what will,
I go to some bar room, And drink with my friends, Where the women cant follow, And see what I spend, God bless them pretty women, I wish they was mine, Their breath is as sweet as, The dew on the vine,
Let me eat when I am hungry, Let me drink when I am dry, A dollar when I am hard up, Religion when I die, The whole world's a bottle, And life's but a dram, When the bottle gets empty, It sure aint worth a damn.
