Give me a copper kettle
Give me a copper coil
Go fill it with new made corn mash
And never more shall you toil
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch that whiskey flowing
In the pale moonlight
Go build your fire with hickory
Hickory, ash and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
Or they'll get you by the smoke
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy he did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since 1792
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"
