Lyric and music written by A. F. Beddoe
get you a copper kettle
get you a copper coil
fill it with new-made corn maize
and never more you toil
you just lean out by the juniper
while the moon is bright
watch them jugs a-filling
in the pale moonlight
built you a fire with hickory
hickory ash and oil
don't use no green or rotten wood
and get you by the smoke
we'll just lay there by the juniper
while the moon is bright
watch them jugs a-filling
in the pale moonlight
my daddy he made whisky
my granddaddy he did too
we ain't paid no whisky tax
since seventeen ninety-two
we just lay there by the juniper
while the moon is bright
watch them jugs a-filling
in the pale moonlight
in the pale moonlight |
