Verse 1:
I've Gbeen a moonCshiner
For seventeen long Gyears
I've Dspent all my Emmoney
On whiskey and Dbeer
I'll D7go to some Ghollow
And set uG/Ep my sDtill
And I'll Bmsell you a Cgallon
For a Amten dollar D7/Dbill D7/C D7/B D7/A
Then I'll go to a bar room
And drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish one was mine
Because their breath is as sweet
As the dew on the vine
Give me food when I'm hungry
Give me drink when I'm dry
A dollar when I'm hard up
Religion when I die (and only then)
If this whole world's a bottle
And life's but a dram
When the bottle is empty
It sure ain't worth a damn
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I've spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow
And set up my still
If the whiskey don't kill me
I Amdon't know what Dwill
