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 sit at my still
  • And if whiskey dont kill me,
  • Then I dont know what will,
  • I go to some bar room,
  • And drink with my friends,
  • Where the women cant follow,
  • And see what I spend,
  • God bless them pretty women,
  • I wish they was mine,
  • Their breath is as sweet,
  • The dew on the vine,
  • Let me eat when I am hungry,
  • Let me drink when I am dry,
  • A dollar when I am hard up,
  • Religion when I die,
  • The whole world's a bottle,
  • And life's but a dram,
  • When the bottle gets empty,
  • It sure ain't worth a damn.
