Moonshiner - Lyrics by Uncle Tupelo


Lyrics
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
