[Verse 1]

Oh I've been a moonshiner for many's a year

And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer

Oh I'll go to some hollow, and set up my still

And I'll trade you a gallon for a two dollar bill

[Verse 2]

Oh I'll go to some alehouse and I'll drink with my friends

With nobody to follow and see what I spend

God bless all you w'an, oh I wish you were mine

And your breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine

[Verse 3]

Well I love drinkin' whiskey, I drink all the time

Some nine hundred bottles I've killed in my time

Well I love drinkin' whiskey and I drink moonshine too

Oh and if I get drunk, man, that's nothing to you
