Copper Kettle

Get you a copper kettle

Get you a copper coil

Fill it with new-made corn mash

Never more you'll toil

Just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a-fillin'

In the pale moonlight

Build you a fire of hickory

Hickory, ash, and oak

Don't use no green or rotten wood

They'll get you by the smoke

Just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a-fillin'

In the pale moonlight

My daddy made whiskey

My grandmama did too

They ain't paid no whiskey tax

Since seventeen ninety-two

Just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a-fillin'

In the pale moonlight

Watch them jugs all a-fillin'

In the pale moonlight
