Moonshiner

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And I've been a moonshiner For seventeen long years And I've spent all my money On whiskey and beer And I go to some hollow And set up my still And if whiskey don't kill me Lord, I don't know what will [Verse 2] And I go to some bar room Oh, and drink with my friends Where the women can't follow And see what I spend God bless them pretty women I wish oh they was mine And their breath is as sweet Oh, the dew on the vine [Verse 3] Let me eat when I'm hungry Let me drink when I'm dry A dollar when I am hard up And religion when I die The whole world's a bottle And life's but a dram When the bottle gets empty God, it sure ain't worth a damn
