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