Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I've spent all my money
On whisky and beer
I go to some hollow
And sit at my still
And if whisky don't kill me
Then I don't know what will
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
A dollar when I'm hard up
Religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle
And life's but a dram
When a bottle gets empty
It's sure ain't worth a damn
Written by: Bob Dylan, Jeff Rosen
