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 don't kill me Then I don't know what will I go to some bar room And drink with my friends Where 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 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
