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