|
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 dont kill me, |
|
Then I dont 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, |
|
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 ain't worth a damn. |
