Get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil
Chorus:
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
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
[Chorus:]
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two
[Chorus:]
Get you a copper kettle Get you a copper coil Cover with new made corn mash And never more you'll toil Chorus: You just lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright 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 [Chorus:] My daddy he made whiskey My granddaddy did too We ain't paid no whiskey tax Since Seventeen Ninety Two [Chorus:] Explain Request ×
