"moonshiner" -uncle tupelo (although i think it's a cover of an old traditional)
i am a
moonshiner
for seventeen
long years
and i spent
all my money
on whiskey
and beer
and i go to
some hollow
and set
up my still
if whiskey
don't kill me
lord i don't know
what will
i go to
some barroom
to drink
with my friends
where the women
they can't follow
to see
what i spend
god bless them
pretty women
i wish
they was mine
with breath as
sweet as
the dew
on the vine
let me eat
when i'm hungry
let me drink
when i'm dry
two dollars
when i'm hard up
religion
when i die
the whole world
is a bottle
and life
is but a dram
when the bottle
gets empty
it sure aint
worth a damn
