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
