I've Ambeen a moonFshiner for Cseventeen long Gyears 
And I've Amspent all my Fmoney on Cwhiskey and Gbeer 
I Fgo to some Ghollow, and I Cset up my Fstill 
If whAmiskey don't Fkill me, tChen I don't knoGw what will. 
I go Amto some bar Froom, just Cto drink with Gmy friends 
Where Amthe women Fcannot follCow for to see wGhat I spend 
GoFd bless theGm pretty womenC, how I wiFsh they was mine 
Their Ambreath is Fas sweet as Cthe dew on the Gvine. 
Let mAme eat when FI'm hungry, Cgive me drink Gwhen I'm dry 
Two dAmollars when FI'm hard uCp, and religion Gwhen I die 
ThFe whole worGld is a bottleC, and life Fis but a dram 
When Amthe bottle Fgoes empty, Cit sure ain't Gworth a damn. 
ThFe whole worGld is a bottleC, and life Fis but a dram 
When Amthe bottle Fgoes empty, Cit sure ain't Gworth a damn.
