Am F C
I've been a moonshiner
C G
For seventeen long years
Am F C
I've spent all my money

On whiskey and beer
F G
I go to some hollow
C F
And drink my still
Am F C
If the whiskey don't kill me
C G
I don't know what will
Am F C
I go to some barroom
C G
To drink with my friends
Am F C
Where the women can't follow
C G
To see what I spend
F G
God bless them pretty women
C F
I wish they was mine
Am F C
With breath as sweet as
C G
The dew on the vine
Am F C
Let me eat when I'm hungry
C G
Let me drink when I'm dry
Am F C
Two dollars when I'm hard up
C G
Religion when I die
F G
The whole world is a bottle
C F
And life is but a dram
Am F C
When the bottle gets empty
C G
It sure ain't worth a damn
