Bob Dylan takes a classic traditional Irish drinking song here and inverts it, using tone and a few choice lyric changes to turn a celebratory ode to the moonshiner’s lifestyle into a brooding meditation on the essential emptiness of life as an alcoholic.
[Verse 1]
I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
I've spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
I go to some hollow
And sit at my still
And if whiskey dont kill me
Then I dont know what will
[Verse 2]
I go to some bar room
And drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish they was mine
Their breath is as sweet
The dew on the vine
[Verse 3]
Let me eat when I am hungry
Let me drink when I am dry
A dollar when I am hard up
Religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle
And life's but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
It sure ain't worth a damn
