Intro: A5 E5 x4

A5               E5          A5             E5
I've been a moonshiner For seventeen long years
  A5           E5           A5       E5
I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
  A5         E5           A5                  E5
I go to some hollow  And set up my holy holy still
   A5              E5               A5              E5
If drinking do not kill me  Then I don't know what will
A5 E5 x2 

A5           E5             A5            E5
I go to some bar room  And drink with my friends
    A5                             E5          A5               E5
Say if women and men would come to follow  To see what I might spend
    A5                  E5      A5            E5 
God bless them handsome men  I wish they was mine
      A5           E5             A5                   E5 
Their breath is as sweet as  The dew on the holy holy vine
A5 E5

A5                      E5
You're already in hell, you're already in hell
A5                         E5
I wish we could go to hell
A5                   E5          A5                 E5  
When the bottle gets empty Then life ain't worth a dram
