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
