Moonshiner
Lyrics
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
I spend all of my money on whisky and beer
I'll go down to some hollow and set up my still
I'll sell you a gallon for a ten dollar bill.
I go to some bar room and drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow and see what I spend
God bless that pretty women, I wish she was mine
'Cause her breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine.
Let me eat when I'm hungry, let me drink when I'm dry
A dollar when I'm 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 ain't worth a damn.
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
I spend all of my money on whisky and beer
I'll go down to some hollow and set up my still
And if whisky don't kill me then I don't know what will.
