 I've been a-a moonshiner for seventeen long years
 
 I've spent all my-y money on whiskey an' beer
 
 I go to some hollow and set up my still
 
 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.
