Lyrics

Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Fill it with new-made corn mash
Never more you'll toil
Just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
Build you a fire of hickory
Hickory, ash, and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll get you by the smoke
Just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
My daddy made whiskey
My grandmama did too
They ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since seventeen ninety-two
Just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
Watch them jugs all a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
