Moonshiner by Bob Dylan

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 sit at my still
And if whiskey dont kill me then I dont know what will

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

Let me eat when I am hungry let me drink when I am dry
A dollar when I am hard up religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle and life but a dram
When the bottle gets empty it sure ain't worth a damn
