MOONSHINER

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 set up my still
And if whiskey don't kill me then I don't know what will

I go to some barroom and drink with my friends
When the women can't follow and see what I spend
God bless them pretty women I wish they was mine
Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine

Let me eat when I'm hungry let me drink when I'm dry
Give me dollar when I'm hard up religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle and life's just a dram
When the bottle gets empty it sure ain't worth a damn
