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 jugs 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
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 whiskey
My granddaddy, he did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax since 1792
We'll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a filling in the pale moonlight
In the pale moonlight
