I've bben a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I spent all my money on
whisky and beer
I go to some hollow
And set up my holy
holy still
If drinking do not kill me
Then I don't know
what will
I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
If women and men would
come to follow
To see what I might spend
God bless them
handsome man
I wish they was mine
Their breath is as
sweet as
The dew on the
holdy holy vine
You're already in
hell you're
already in hell
I wish we could go to hell
When the bottle gets empty
Then life ain't worth
the drown
