Moonshiner - Bob Dylan, Uncle Tupelo cover

I've been a moonshiner
for seventeen long years.
I've spent all my money
on whiskey and beer.

I'll go to some holler
and set up my still.
and if the whiskey don't kill me
Lord I don't know what will.

I go to some bar room
and drink with my friends.
Where the women can't follow
and see what I've spent.

God bless them pretty women
I wish they was mine.
Their breath is as sweet
as dew on the vine.

Give me meat when I'm hungry
and whiskey when I'm dry.
And dollars when I'm hard up
religion when I die.

The whole world is a bottle
life is but a dram.
If the bottle gets empty
it ain't worth a damn.
