Verse
Cm G# D# A#
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
Cm G# D# A#
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
G# A# D# G#
I go to some hollow and set up my still
Cm G# D#
And if whiskey don't kill me
A#
Then I don't know what will
[Verse 2]
(same chords)
Cm G# D# A#
I go to some barroom and drink with my friends
Cm G# D# A#
Where the women can't follow and see what I spent
G# A# D# G#
God bless them pretty women, how I wish they was mine
Cm G# D#
Their breath is as sweet as
A#
The dew on the vine
[Verse 3]
(same chords)
Cm G# D# A#
Let me eat when I'm hungry, let me drink when I'm dry
Cm G# D# A#
Give me dollar when I'm hard up, religion when I die
G# A# D# G#
The whole world's a bottle, and life's just a dram
Cm G# D#
When a bottle gets empty
A#
It sure ain't worth a damn
