Get you a copper kettle Get you a copper coil Fill it with new made cornmash And never more you'll toil. You'll just lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright Watch the jugs a'filling In the pale moonlight. My daddy, he made whiskey And my grandaddy did too We ain't paid no whiskey tax Since seventeen ninety-two. You'll just lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright Watch the jugs a'filling In the pale moonlight. Make you're fire with hickory Hickory, ash, and oak Don't use no green or rotten wood They'll catch you by the smoke. You'll just lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright Watch the jugs a'filling In the pale moonlight. Get you a copper kettle Get you a copper coil Fill it with new made cornmash And never more you'll toil. You'll just lay there by the juniper While the moon is bright Watch the jugs a'filling In the pale moonlight In the pale moonlight.
