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