Am F C G I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years Am F C G And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer F G C F I go to some hollow, and I set up my still Am F C G If whiskey don't kill me, then I don't know what will. Am F C G I go to some bar room, just to drink with my friends Am F C G Where the women cannot follow for to see what I spend F G C F God bless them pretty women, how I wish they was mine Am F C G Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine. Am F C G Let me eat when I'm hungry, give me drink when I'm dry Am F C G Two dollars when I'm hard up, and religion when I die F G C F The whole world is a bottle, and life is but a dram Am F C G When the bottle goes empty, it sure ain't worth a damn. F G C F The whole world is a bottle, and life is but a dram Am F C G When the bottle goes empty, it sure ain't worth a damn.
