MOONSHINER
From Jay Farrar and Uncle Tupelo

I've(Em) been a(C) moon(G)shiner
for seventeen long (D)years
and I (Em)spent all(C) my (G)money
on whiskey and (D)beer
and I (C)go to some(D) hollow
and (G)set up my (C)still
if (Em)whiskey (C)don't (G)kill me
Lord, I don't know what(D) will

and I go to some barroom
to drink with my friends
where the women they can't follow
to see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish they was mine
with breath as sweet as
the dew on the vine

let me eat when I'm hungry
let me drink when I'm dry
two dollars when I'm hard up
religion when I die
the whole world is a bottle
and life is but a dram
when the bottle gets empty
Lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
