about

A traditional tune
A nod to Clifton Hicks for him unknowingly teaching me most of what I know about old-time picking
Only song on the album done on steel strings

lyrics

I have been a moonshiner,
For seventeen long years,
I have spent all my money,
On whiskey and on beer,
I will go to some hollow,
And I can get you some booze
If the revenues don't get me,
No money will I lose.

I will go to some dark 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 one would be mine,
Their breath is as sweet,
The sweet dew on the morning vine,

Give me cornbread,
A me drink when I am dry,
Give me dollar when I am hard up,
Religion when I die,
The whole world's a bottle,
And life's but a dream,
When the bottle gets empty,
It sure ain't worth a damn.
