Moonshiner

I've been a moonshiner

For seventeen long years

I spent all my money

On whisky and beerI go to some hollow

And set up my holy, holy still

If drinking do not kill me

Then I don't know what willI go to some bar room

And drink with my friends

See if women and men would come to follow

To see what I might spendGod bless them handsome men

I wish they was mine

Their breath is as sweet as

The dew on the holy, holy vine
