Copper Kettle (A. F. Beddoe)

Get you a copper kettle 
And get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash 
And never more you'll toil

   You'll just lay there by the juniper
   While the moon is bright
   Watch them jugs a-fillin'
   In the pale moonlight

My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since 1792

   We just lay there by the juniper
   While the moon is bright
   Watched them jugs a-fillin'
   In the pale moonlight

Build your fire with hickory
Hickory and ash and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll get you by the smoke

   While you lay there by the juniper
   While the moon is bright
   Watch them jugs a-fillin'
   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'll just lay there by the juniper
   While the moon is bright
   Watch them jugs a-fillin'
   In the pale moonlight
   In the pale moonlight
