Bm      G    D                       A
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
      Bm       G      D                 A
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
   G            A        D          G
I go to some hollow and set up my still
         Bm      G         D
And if whiskey don't kill me
                       A
Then I don't know what will

   Bm    G    D                        A
I go to some barroom and drink with my friends
   Bm    G    D                             A
Where the women can't follow and see what I spent
    G                 A            D             G         
God bless them pretty women, how I wish they was mine
      Bm       G    D
Their breath is as sweet as 
               A
The dew on the vine

        Bm    G    D                              A
Let me eat when I'm hungry, let me drink when I'm dry
        Bm    G        D                         A
Give me dollar when I'm hard up, religion when I die
          G          A           D             G
The whole world's a bottle, and life's just a dram
       Bm     G    D
When a bottle gets empty
                      A
It sure ain't worth a damn
