Moonshiner

I?ve been a moonshiner For seventeen long years I've spent all my money On whiskey and beer I'll go to some hollow And set up my still And I'll sell you a gallon For a ten dollar bill Then I'll go to a 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 one was mine Because their breath is as sweet As the dew on the vine Give me food when I'm hungry Give me drink when I'm dry A dollar when I'm hard up Religion when I die If this whole world's a bottle And life's but a dram When the bottle is empty It sure ain't worth a damn I've been a moonshiner For seventeen long years I've spent all my money On whiskey and beer I'll go to some hollow And set up my still If the whiskey don't kill me I don't know what will
