Copper Kettle lyrics

Get you a copper kettle

And get you a copper coil

Cover with new made corn mash

And never more you'll toil

You just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a-fillin

In the pale moonlight

My daddy he made whiskey

My grandmother did too

And I ain't paid my income tax

Since Seventeen Ninety Two

I just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a-fillin

In the pale moonlight

Build your fire with hickory

Hickory and ash and oak

Don't use no green or rotten wood

It'll get you by the smoke

As you lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a-fillin

In the pale moonlight

Get you a copper kettle

And get you a copper coil

Cover with new made corn mash

And never more you'll toil

You just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a-fillin

In the pale moonlight

In the pale moonlight
