Bob Dylan Lyrics - Moonshiner Lyrics lyrics

rate me

I've been a moonshiner,

For seventeen long years,

I've spent all my money,

On whiskey and beer,

I go to some hollow,

And sit at my still

And if whiskey dont kill me,

Then I dont know what will,

I go to some bar room,

And drink with my friends,

Where the women cant follow,

And see what I spend,

God bless them pretty women,

I wish they was mine,

Their breath is as sweet,

The dew on the vine,

Let me eat when I am hungry,

Let me drink when I am dry,

A dollar when I am hard up,

Religion when I die,

The whole world's a bottle,

And life's but a dram,

When the bottle gets empty,

It sure aint worth a damn.
