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 sit at my still
If the whiskey don't kill me
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
How I wish they were 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 a dollar when I'm hard up
Religion when I die

The whole world's a bottle
And life is but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
It sure ain't worth a damn
