Moonshiner Songtext
von Bob Dylan

I′ve been a moonshiner
For 17 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 as
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 damn
