Uncle Tupelo
Moonshiner lyrics
Songwriters: Traditional; Tweedy, Jeffrey Scott; Farrar, Jay Stuart
I've been moonshiner for seventeen long years
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
And I go to some hollow and set up my still
If whiskey don't kill me, Lord, I don't know what will
And I go to some barroom to drink with my friends
Where the women, they can't follow to see what I spend
God bless them, pretty women, I wish they was mine
With breath as sweet as the dew on the vine
We eat when I'm hungry, let me drink when I'm dry
Two dollars when I'm hard up religion when I die
The whole world is a bottle and life is but a dram
When the bottle gets empty, Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
