Lyrics

Moonshiner

I've been a moonshiner For 17 long years I spent all my money On whisky and beer I go to some hollow And set up my holy, holy still If drinking do not kill me Then I don't know what will I go to some bar room And drink with my friends Say if women and men would come to follow To see what I might spend God bless them handsome men I wish they was mine Their breath is as sweet as The dew on the holy, holy vine You're already in hell, you're already in hell I wish we could go to hell When the bottle gets empty Then life ain't worth the drown
