Cat Power - Moonshiner lyrics

rate me

I've been a moonshiner

For seventeen long years

I spent all my money on whisky and beer

I go to some hollow

And set up my holy holy still

If drinking do not kill me

Then I don't know what will

I go to some bar room

And drink with my friends

If women and men would come to follow

To see what I might spend

God bless them handsome men

I wish they was mine

They're breath is as sweet as

The dew on the holy holy vine

You're already in hellyou're already in hell

I wish we could go to hell

When the bottle gets empty

Then life ain't worth the drown
