Moonshine Blues - Bob Dylan

I’ve been a moonshiner

for seventeen long years.

I’ve spent all my money

for whiskey and beer.

I’ll go to some holler

and set up my still.

And if whiskey don’t get me

then I don’t know what I will.

I go to some barroom

and drink with my friends

where women can’t follow

to see what I spend.

God bless those pretty women,

I wish they was mine.

Their breath is as sweet

as the dew on the vine.

I’ll eat when I’m hungry,

moonshine when I’m dry.

many dollars when I’m hard-up,

religion when I die.

The whole world is a bottle

where lives get drowned.

When the bottle gets empty

God it ain’t worth a dime.

I’ve been a moonshiner

for seventeen long years.

I’ve spent all my money

on whiskey and beer.

I’ll got to some holler

and set up my still.

And if whiskey don’t get me
