Copper Kettle

Get you a copper kettle Get you a copper coil Cover with new-made corn mash And never more you'll toil You'll just lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright Watch them jugs a-fillin' In the pale moonlight Get you a fire of hickory Get you a fire of oak Don't use no green or rotten wood They'll find you by the smoke While you lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright Watch them jugs a-fillin' In the pale moonlight My grandpappy he made whiskey My daddy he made it too We ain't paid no whiskey tax since 1792 We just lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright Watch them jugs a-fillin' In the pale moonlight Get you a copper kettle Get you a copper coil Cover with new-made corn mash And never more you will toil You'll just lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright Watch them jugs a-fillin' In the pale moonlight
