i've been a moonshiner
for seventeen long years
i've spent all my money
on whiskey & beer
i go to some hollow,
& sit at my still
& if the whiskey don't kill me,
then i don't know what will
i go to some bar room
& drink with my friends
where the women can't follow
& 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
& life's but a dram
when the bottle gets empty
it sure ain't worth a damn.
