Moonshiner Lyrics
by Scorpios
"Moonshiner" by the Scorpios (Joey Cape, Tony Sly (RIP), Jon Snodgrass, Brian Wahlstrom)
off of their self-titled album. Note: the final chord in each line is to be played
with the final word in the respective verse/chorus (it's going to be shifted out of
place when this is submitted).
Intro: Am F C G x 2
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I've spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
I go to some hollow
And drink my still
If the whiskey don't kill me
I don't know what will
I go to some barroom
To drink with my friends
Where the women 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
It sure ain't worth a damn
Outro: Am F C G (close on G or Am)
