Lyrics - Moonshiner by Uncle Tupelo

I've been a moonshinerfor seventeen long yearsand
I spent all my moneyon whiskey and beerand
I go to some hollowand set up my stillif whiskey don't kill me
Lord,
I don't know what willand
I go to some barroomto drink with my friendswhere the women they can't followto see what
I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish they was minewith breath as sweet asthe dew on the vinelet me eat when
I'm hungrylet me drink when
I'm drytwo dollars when
I'm hard upreligion when
I diethe whole world is a bottleand life is but a dramwhen the bottle gets empty
Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
