Copper Kettle

Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Fill it 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 all a-filling
In the pale moonlight

Build you a fire with hickory
Hickory, ash, and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll get you by the smoke

You'll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs all a-filling
In the pale moonlight

My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since 1792

So we'll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them old jugs all a-filling
In the pale moonlight

We'll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them old jugs just a-filling
In the pale moonlight
