Bm G D A
Iʼve been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
Bm G D A
Iʼve spent all my money on whiskey and beer
G A D G
I go to some hollow and set up my still
Bm G D
And if whiskey donʼt kill me
A
Then I donʼt know what will
I go to some barroom and drink with my friends
When the women canʼt follow and see what I spent
God bless them pretty women
How I wish they was mine
Their breath is as sweet as
The dew on the vine
Let me eat when Iʼm hungry
Let me drink when Iʼm dry
Give me dollar when Iʼm hard up
Religion when I die
The whole worldʼs a bottle
And lifeʼs just a dram
When a bottle gets empty
It sure ainʼt worth a damn
