Lyrics

Well I’ve been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
Well I’ve spent all my money on whiskey and beer
Well I go to some hollow and I sit at my still
And if whiskey don’t kill me
I don’t know what will
Well I go to some barroom and drink with my friends
Where the women cannot follow
And see what I’ve spent
God bless them pretty women
Hell I wish they was mine
Well their breath is as sweet as
The dew on a vine
Ah ah ah
La la la
Ah ah ah
La la la
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
‘Cause the whole world is a bottle
And my life’s but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
Sure ain’t worth a damn
Ah ah ah
La la la
Ah ah ah
La la la
