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