Hmm. Even Dylan has sung this song, but I think he called it Moonshine Blues. I think it's a traditional. The lyrics differ from everywhere it's sung.
Here goes:

¯¯¯
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years
I've spent all my money on whiskey an' beer
I go to some hollow and set up my still
If whiskey don't kill me then I don't know what will.

I'd go to some bar room and drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow an' see what I’ve spent
God bless those pretty women, I wish they was mine
Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine.

Let me eat when I’m hungry, moonshine when I’m dry
Greenbacks when I’m hard up, religion when I die
The whole world is a bottle an' life's but a dram
When a bottle gets empty, god it ain't worth a damn.

In the movie, Deliverance, Ronny Cox sings only the last verse and I think he sings "Well, it's red meat when I’m hungry, moonshine when I’m dry.” In some other versions I’ve seen that they repeat the first verse as a last verse. Anyways, thanx again Deckman and all you others!
