Introduction:
C Am C Dm
I&rsquo ve been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
C Am C Dm
I&rsquo ve spent all my money on whiskey and beers
D2/A Dm D2/A Dm D2/A Dm D2/A Dm
In a wild lonesome holler I&rsquo ll build me my still
C Am C Dm
And I&rsquo ll make you a gallon for a two-dollar bill
C Am C Dm
I&rsquo ll go to some grocery, I&rsquo ll drink with my friends
C Am C Dm
No women to follow me to see what I spend
D2/A Dm D2/A Dm D2/A Dm D2/A Dm
God bless those pretty women, I wish they was mine
C Am C Dm
Their breath is as sweet as dew on the vine
C Am C Dm
Well its cornbread when I&rsquo m hungry, corn liquor when I&rsquo m dry
C Am C Dm
And its greenbacks when I&rsquo m hard up, and religion when I die
D2/A Dm D2/A Dm D2/A Dm D2/A Dm
The world&rsquo s but a bottle, and life&rsquo s but a dram
C Am C Dm
When the bottle is empty it ain&rsquo t worth a damn
C Am C Dm
I&rsquo ve been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
C Am C Dm
I&rsquo ve spent all my money on whiskey and beers
D2/A Dm D2/A Dm D2/A Dm D2/A Dm
In a wild lonesome holler I&rsquo ll build me my still
C Am C Dm
And I&rsquo ll make you a gallon for a two-dollar bill
