Am [C/g] F [C/g] G7

I've been a-a moonshiner for seventeen long years

Am [C/g] F [C/g] G7

I've spent all my-y money on whiskey an' beer

F G [C/g] F

I go to some hollow and set up my still

Am [C/g] F [C/g] G7

And if whiskey don't kill me then I don't know what will.

I'd go to some bar room and drink with my friends

Where the women can't follow an' see what I've spent

God bless them pretty women, I wish they was mine

Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine.

Let me eat when I'm hungry, let me drink when I'm dry

Hmm, dollars when I'm hard up, religion when I die

The whole world's a bottle an' life's but a dram

When a bottle gets empty, it sure ain't worth a damn.
