Written by: Bob Dylan (arr)

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 stillAnd 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 cant follow,And see what I spend,God bless them pretty women,I wish they was mine,Their breath is as sweet,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's but a dram,When the bottle gets empty,It sure ain't worth a damn.
