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
And If Whiskey Dont Kill Me,
Then I Dont Know What Will,

I Go To Some Bar Room,
And Drink With My Friends,
Where The Women Cant Follow,
And See What I Spend,
God Bless Them Pretty Women,
I Wish They Was Mine,
Their Breath Is As Sweet,
The Dew On The Vine,

Let Me Eat When I Am Hungry,
Let Me Drink When I Am Dry,
A Dollar When I Am Hard Up,
Religion When I Die,
The Whole World's A Bottle,
And Life's But A Dram,
When The Bottle Gets Empty,
It Sure Aint Worth A Damn.
