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
[Verse 2]
(same chords)
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
[Verse 3]
(same chords)
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
