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