I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long yearsI've spent all my money on whiskey and beerIn a while on some holler I'll build me my steelAnd I'll make you a gallon or a two dollar billI'll go to some grocery, I'll drink with my friendsNo women to follow me to see what I spendGod bless those pretty women, I wish they was mineTheir breath is as sweet as the dew on the vineWell it's cornbread when I'm hungry, corn liquor when I'm dryAnd it's green grass when I'm hard up, and religion when I dieThe world's but a bottle and life's but a dimeWhen the bottle is empty it ain't worth a damnI've been a moonshiner for seventeen long yearsI've spent all my money on whiskey and beerIn a while on some holler I'll build me my steelAnd I'll make you a gallon or a two dollar bill
