C majorC     G+G   C majorC
Get you a copper kettle,
C majorC     G+G   C majorC
Get you a copper coil,
E MajorE           A minorAm
Fill it with new-made corn mash
  DmDm        G+G
And never more you'll toil.

[Chorus]

    A minorAm        E minorEm
As you lay there by the juniper
A minorAm        E minorEm
while the moon is bright,
A minorAm        DmDm
Watch them jugs a-filling
A minorAm   E minorEm    A minorAm
In the pale moonlight.

My daddy, he made whiskey;

My grand-daddy, he did too.

We ain't paid no whiskey tax
   DmDm        G+G
Since seventeen ninety-two.

Watch them jugs a-filling
A minorAm   E minorEm    A minorAm
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.
