Copper Kettle

Get you a copper kettle

Get you a copper coil

Cover with new made corn mash

And never more you'll toil

Chorus:

You just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is bright

Watch them jugs a-fillin

In the pale moonlight

Build your fires of hickory

Hickory or ash or oak

Don't use no green or rotten wood

They'll catch you by the smoke

Chorus

My daddy he made whiskey

My granddaddy did too

We ain't paid no whiskey tax

Since Seventeen Ninety Two

Chorus
