Tear My Stillhouse Down (Home Demo)
No stone at my head, no flowers on my tomb
No gold-plated sign in a marble-pillared room
The one thing I want, they lay me in the ground
When I die, tear my still-house down
Oh, tear my still-house down, let it go to rust
Don't leave no trace of the hiding place
Where I made that evil stuff
For all my time and money, no profit did I see
That old copper kettle was the death of me
When I was a child way back in the hills
I laughed at the men who tended those stills
But that old mountain shine, it caught me somehow
When I die, tear my still-house down
Oh, oh, tear my still-house down, let it go to rust
Don't leave no trace of the hiding place
Where I made that evil stuff
For all my time and money, no profit did I see
That old copper kettle was the death of me
Oh, tell all your children, that hell ain't no dream
'Cause Satan, he lives in my whiskey machine
And in my time of dying, I know where I'm bound
So when I die, tear my still-house down
Oh, tear my still-house down, let it go to rust
Don't leave no trace of the hiding place
Where I made that evil stuff
For all my time and money, no profit did I see
That old copper kettle was the death of me
That old copper kettle was the death of me
No gold-plated sign in a marble-pillared room
The one thing I want, they lay me in the ground
When I die, tear my still-house down
Oh, tear my still-house down, let it go to rust
Don't leave no trace of the hiding place
Where I made that evil stuff
For all my time and money, no profit did I see
That old copper kettle was the death of me
When I was a child way back in the hills
I laughed at the men who tended those stills
But that old mountain shine, it caught me somehow
When I die, tear my still-house down
Oh, oh, tear my still-house down, let it go to rust
Don't leave no trace of the hiding place
Where I made that evil stuff
For all my time and money, no profit did I see
That old copper kettle was the death of me
Oh, tell all your children, that hell ain't no dream
'Cause Satan, he lives in my whiskey machine
And in my time of dying, I know where I'm bound
So when I die, tear my still-house down
Oh, tear my still-house down, let it go to rust
Don't leave no trace of the hiding place
Where I made that evil stuff
For all my time and money, no profit did I see
That old copper kettle was the death of me
That old copper kettle was the death of me
