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