Song lyrics

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 bright.
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 bright.
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 bright.
And watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight.





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 bright.
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 bright.
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 bright.
And watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight.
