Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Fill it with new made corn mash
And never more you´ll toil

You´ll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight

Build you a fire with hickory
Hickory, ash, and oak
Don´t use no green or rotten wood
It´ll get you by the smoke

We´ll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight

My daddy, he made whiskey
My granddaddy, he did too
We ain´t paid no whiskey tax
Since 1792

We´ll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight
