Paroles de Moonshiner

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 don't kill me
Then i don't know what will

I go to some 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 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 ain't worth a damn
