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