Moonshiner Songtext
von Redbird

I′ve been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I've spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
I go to some hollow
And sit at my still
And if whiskey don′t kill me
Then I don't know what will


I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
Where the women cant follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish they was mine
Their breath is as sweet
The dew on the vine

Let me eat when I am hungr
Let me drink when I am dry,
A dollar when I am hard up,
Religion when I die,
The whole world's a bottle,
And life′s but a dram,
When the bottle gets empty,
It sure ain′t worth a damn
