Copper Kettle

Get you a copper kettle

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 filling

In the pale moonlight

My daddy he made whiskey

My granddaddy did too

We ain't paid no whiskey tax

Since seventeen ninety two

We just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a filling

In the pale moonlight

Build your fires with hickory

Hickory and ash and oak

Don't use no green or rotten wood

They'll get you by the smoke

Why you lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a filling

In the pale moonlight

Get you a copper kettle

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 filling

In the pale moonlight

In the pale moonlight
