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