[Intro]
Am C/G F C/G
[Verse 1]
Am C/G F C/G G7
I've been a-a moonshiner for seventeen long years
Am C/G F C/G G7
I've spent all my-y money on whiskey an' beer
F G C/G F
I go to some hollow and set up my still
Am C/G F C/G G7
And if whiskey don't kill me then I don't know what will.
[Verse 2]
Am C/G F C/G G7
I'd go to some bar room and drink with my friends
Am C/G F C/G G7
Where the women can't follow an' see what I've spent
F G C/G F
God bless them pretty women, I wish they was mine
Am C/G F C/G G7
Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine.
[Verse 3]
Am C/G F C/G G7
Let me eat when I'm hungry, let me drink when I'm dry
Am C/G F C/G G7
Hmm, dollars when I'm hard up, religion when I die
F G C/G F
The whole world's a bottle an' life's but a dram
Am C/G F C/G G7
When a bottle gets empty, it sure ain't worth a damn.
