lyrics

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 set up my still
And if whiskey don't kill me, then I don't know what will

I go to some bar room, to drink with my friends
Where women, can't follow, to see what I spend
God bless those pretty women, I wish they were mine
Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine

So let me eat when I'm hungry, moonshine when I'm dry
Green grass when I'm hard up, religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle, and life's but a dram
When that bottle gets empty, God it aint worth a damn

I've been a moonshiner, for seventeen long years
I've spent all my money, on whiskey and beer
I go to some hollow, to set up my still
And if whiskey don't kill me, then I don't know what will
