KENTUCKY MOONSHINER, by ANONYMOUS First Line: I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years Last Line: Their breath smells as sweet as the good old moonshine Subject(s): Alcohol & Alcoholics | |||
I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years, I've spent all my money for whiskey and beers. I'll go to some holler, I'll pull up my still, I'll make you a gallon for a two-dollar bill. I'll go to some grocery and drink with my friends, No woman to follow to see what I spends. God bless those pretty women, I wish they were mine, Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine. I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry, If moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I die. God bless those moonshiners, I wish they were mine, Their breath smells as sweet as the good old moonshine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WORLD NARROWED TO A POINT by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A DRUNKEN MAN'S PRAISE OF SOBRIETY by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS BRING US IN GOOD ALE by ANONYMOUS FLORIDUS: OF A DRUNKARD by ANONYMOUS IN MEMORIAM: TAMMY MESSER by ANONYMOUS JOLLY GOOD ALE AND OLD by ANONYMOUS LAURIGER HORATIUS by ANONYMOUS TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
