Lyrics
I’ve been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I’ve spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
I go to some hollow and set up my still
And if whiskey don’t kill me
Then I don’t know what will
I go to some barroom
To drink with my friends
Where the women can’t follow
To see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish they were mine
With breath as sweet as the dew on the vine
Let me eat when I’m hungry
Let me drink when I’m dry
A dollar when I'm hard-up
And religion when I die
The whole world is a bottle
And life is but a dram
And when the bottle gets empty
Lord, it sure ain’t worth a damn

The Moaners are a Chapel Hill, North Carolina-based rock band signed to Yep Roc Records. In 2004, Melissa Swingle's band Trailer Bride broke up, and she formed The Moaners with drummer Laura King, formerly of the Chapel Hill band Grand National. The band is often compared to the The White Stripes, as they are also a two-piece and employ a similar garage rock, bluesy style.
