I've been a moonshiner for 17 long years
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow and set up my still
And I'll sell you a gallon for a ten dollar bill
ย
Then I go to some barroom and drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow and see what I spend
God bless them pretty women, I wish one was mine
Because her breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine
ย
Give me food when I'm hungry, give me drink when I'm dry
A dollar when I'm hard up, religion when I die
Only then if this whole world's a bottle then life's but a dram
When the bottle gets empty it sure ain't worth a damn
ย
I've been a moonshiner for 17 long years
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow and set up my still
And if the whiskey don't kill me, I don't know what will
