Copper Kettle
Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
And fill it with new-made corn mash
And never more you'll toil
You'll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
Build you a fire with hickory
Hickory, ash, and oak
And don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll get you by the smoke
You'll a-just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs all a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
My daddy, he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
And we ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Sеventeen Ninety-Two
We'll a-just lay thеre by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them ol' jugs just a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
We'll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them ol' jugs just a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
