Moonshiner

I am a moonshiner

For seventeen long years

And I spent all my money

On whisky and beers

And I go to some hollow

And set up my still

If whisky don't kill me

Lord, I don't know what will

And I go to some barroom

To drink with my friends

Where the women they can't follow

To see what I spend

God bless them, pretty women

I wish they was mine

With breath as sweet as

The dew on the vine

Let me eat when I'm hungry

Let me drink when I'm dry

Two dollars when I'm hard up

Religion when I die

The whole world is a bottle

And life is but a dram

When the bottle gets empty

Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
