I'm a-makin' whiskey
On the Rattlesnake Shelf
I'm a-gonna drink some
And the rest I'll sell

Me and my baby
Are comin' into town
I'm makin' whiskey
Going to bring some down

Gotta white corn mash
And a honey comb
We're makin' whiskey
Me and my dad

Dip in your finger
It'll taste so fine
It'll make you go crazy
If you dip too many times

I'm a-makin' whiskey
On the Rattlesnake Shelf
I'm a-gonna drink some
And the rest I'll sell

Me and my baby
Are comin' into town
I'm makin' whiskey
Going to bring some down
I gotta thirty fifty of copper
Running through the stream
Bang it like a hammer
Whеn the water hits the stеam

Smokin' like a it like a steamboat
Comin' down the line
I'm makin' whiskey
Do you want to make time

I'm a-makin' whiskey
On the Rattlesnake Shelf
I'm a-gonna drink some
And the rest I'll sell

Me and my baby
Are comin' into town
I'm makin' whiskey
Going to bring some down

I'm a-workin' in the morning
'Fore the Revenue Man
Come a-lookin' around
With a paper in his hand

Sweeter than honey
Sting like a bee
I'm a-makin whiskey
Come along with me
I'm a-makin' whiskey
On the Rattlesnake Shelf
I'm a-gonna drink some
And the rest I'll sell

Me and my baby
Are comin' into town
I'm makin' whiskey
Going to bring some down

I'm makin' whiskey
Going to bring some down
