Am F
I've been a moonshiner
C G
For seventeen long years
Am F
And I've spent all my money
C G
On whiskey and beer
F G
I go to some hollow
C Em G
And I sit at my still
Am F
And if whiskey don't kill me
C G
Then I don't know what will
F G
I go to some bar room
C Em G
And I drink with my friends
Am F
Where the women cant follow
C G
And see what I spend
F G
God bless them pretty women
C Em G
I wish they was mine
Am F
Their breath is as sweet as
C G
The dew on the vine
Am F
Let me eat when I am hungry
C G
Let me drink when I am dry
Am F
Give me a dollar when I am hard up
C G
Religion when I die
F G
The whole world's a bottle
C Em G
And life's but a dram
Am F
When the bottle gets empty
C G
I know it ain't worth a damn
