Paragraph Lyric
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
And I spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
And I go to some hollow
And set up my still
If whiskey don't kill me
Lord, I don't know what will

And I go to some barroom
To drink with my friends
Where the women they can't follow
To see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish they was mine
With breath as sweet as
The dew on the vine

Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
Two dollars when I'm hard up
Religion when I die
The whole world is a bottle
And life is but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
I've been a moonshiner   For seventeen long years   And I spent all my money   On whiskey and beer   And I go to some hollow   And set up my still   If whiskey don't kill me   Lord, I don't know what will      And I go to some barroom   To drink with my friends   Where the women they can't follow   To see what I spend   God bless them pretty women   I wish they was mine   With breath as sweet as   The dew on the vine      Let me eat when I'm hungry   Let me drink when I'm dry   Two dollars when I'm hard up   Religion when I die   The whole world is a bottle   And life is but a dram   When the bottle gets empty   Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
