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