lyrics

Bm G D A
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
Bm G D A
I've spent all of my money on whiskey and beer
G A Bm G
In a wild lonesome hollow I'll build me own still
Bm G D A
If the whiskey don’t kill me, I don’t know what will

I go to some barroom and I drink with my friends
Where the women they can’t follow to see what I spend
God bless them pretty women, how I wish they was 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 and religion when I die
This world is but a bottle and life is but a dram
When the bottle is empty, it won’t be worth a damn
