Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I spent all my money on whiskey and beer

I go to some hollow
And set up my still
If whiskey don't kill me
Then I don't know what will

I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
If women came to follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish they was mine

They're breath is as sweet as
The dew on vine

Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
A dollar when I am hard up
Religion when I die
The whole world is a bottle
And life is but a dram

When the bottle gets empty
It sure ain't worth a dime
