Moonshine Blues

Moonshine Blues - Bob Dylan

I've been a moonshiner

For seventeen long years

I've spent all my money

On whiskey and beer

I go to some hollow

And sit at my still

And if whiskey don't kill me

Then 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 spend

God bless them pretty women

I wish they was mine

Their breath is as sweet

The dew on the vine

Let me eat when I am hungry

Let me drink when I am dry

A dollar when I am hard up

Religion when I die

The whole world's a bottle

And life's but a dram

When the bottle gets empty

It sure ain't worth a d***

I've been a moonshiner

For seventeen long years

I've spent all my money

On whiskey and beer

I go to some hollow

And sit at my still

And if whiskey don't kill me

Then I don't know what will
