Moonshiner

from The Cave Sessions by Chelsea Williams

/

lyrics

I’ve been a moonshiner for seventeen long years 
And I’ve spent all my money on whiskey and beer 
And I go to the hollow and sit at my still 
And if whiskey don’t kill me then I don’t know what will 
 
And I go to some bar room and drink with my friends 
Where women can’t follow and see what I spend 
God bless them pretty women I wish they was mine 
Cause their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine  
 
And let me eat when I’m hungry and drink when I’m dry 
A dollar when I’m hard-up religion when I die 
The whole world’s a bottle and life is but a dram 
And when the bottle gets empty, but it ain’t worth a damn
