Get you a copper kettle, get you a copper coil
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 just a-filling in the pale moonlight.

Build you a fire with hickory, hickory, ash and oak
Don´t use no green or rotten wood, they´ll get you by the smoke
You´ll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them just 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
You´ll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
