Lost Dog Street Band - Moonshiner lyrics
[Lost Dog Street Band - Moonshiner lyrics]
And I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
And I've spent all my money
On whiskey and beer and I go to some hollow
And set up my still
And if whiskey don't kill me
Lord, I don't know what will
And I go to some bar room
Oh, and drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish oh they was mine
And their breath is as sweet
Oh, the dew on the vine
Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
A dollar when I am hard up
And religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle
And life's but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
God, it sure ain't worth a damn
For seventeen long years
And I've spent all my money
On whiskey and beer and I go to some hollow
And set up my still
And if whiskey don't kill me
Lord, I don't know what will
And I go to some bar room
Oh, and drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish oh they was mine
And their breath is as sweet
Oh, the dew on the vine
Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
A dollar when I am hard up
And religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle
And life's but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
God, it sure ain't worth a damn
