Intro
Verse 1
I've been a-a moonshiner for seventeen long years
I've spent all my-y money on whiskey an' 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.
Verse 2
I'd go to some bar room and drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow an' see what I've spent
God bless them pretty women, I wish they was mine
Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine.
Verse 3
Let me eat when I'm hungry, let me drink when I'm dry
Hmm, dollars when I'm hard up, religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle an' life's but a dram
When a bottle gets empty, it sure ain't worth a damn.
