Tony Joe White - Copper Kettle (The Pale Moonlight) lyrics
[Tony Joe White - Copper Kettle The Pale Moonlight lyrics]
Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
Build your fires of hickory
Hickory or ash or oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll catch you by the smoke
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
Get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
Build your fires of hickory
Hickory or ash or oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll catch you by the smoke
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
