Bm F#m
I've been a moonshiner
Bm F#m
For seventeen long years
Bm F#m
I spend all my money on whiskey and beer
Bm F#m
I go to some hollow
Bm F#m
And set up my holy, holy still
Bm F#m
If drinking do not kill me
Bm F#m
Then I don't know what will
Bm F#m
I go to some bar room
Bm F#m
And drink with my friends
Bm F#m
See if women and men would come to follow
Bm F#m
To see what I might spend
Bm F#m
God bless them handsome men
Bm F#m
I wish they was mine
Bm F#m
Their breath is as sweet as
Bm F#m
The dew on the holy, holy vine
Bm
You're already in hell
F#m
You're already in hell
Bm F#m
I wish we could go to hell
Bm F#m
When the bottle gets empty,
Bm F#m
Then life ain't worth the drown
