Copper Kettle |
Get you a copper kettle |
And get you a copper coil |
Cover with new cut corn mash |
And never more you’ll toil |
You just lay there by the juniper |
While the moon is high |
And watch them jugs a-fillin |
In the pale moonlight |
Build your fires of hickory |
Hickory or ash or oak |
Don’t use no green or rotten wood |
They’ll catch you by the smoke |
You just lay there by the juniper |
While the moon is high |
And watch them jugs a-fillin |
In the pale moonlight |
My daddy he made whiskey |
My granddaddy did too |
We ain’t paid no whiskey tax |
Since Seventeen Ninety Two |
You just lay there by the juniper |
While the moon is high |
And watch them jugs a-fillin |
In the pale moonlight |
