Intro
Verse 1
I've
been a-
a
moon
shiner for seventeen long
years
I've sp
ent all
my-y
money on whiskey an'
beer
I
go to some
hollow and
set up my
still
And if
whisk
ey
don't
kill me then I don't know what
will.
Verse 2
I'd
go t
o
some
bar room and drink with my
friends
Where the
wome
n
can't
follow an' see what I've s
pent
God
bless them pretty
women, I
wish they was
mine
Their
breath i
s
as s
weet as the dew on the
vine.
Verse 3
Let me
eat whe
n
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
bott
le
gets
empty, it sure ain't worth a
damn.
