Copper Kettle

Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Fill it with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil

You'll just lay there by the juniper
While the Moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight

Build you a fire with hickory
Hickory, ash and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll get you by the smoke

You'll just lay there by the juniper
While the Moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight

My daddy, he made whiskey
My granddaddy he did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax since 1792

You'll just lay there by the juniper
While the Moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight
