Copper Kettle Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil

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

[Verse 2]
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two

[Refrain]
We just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight

[Verse 3]
Build your fires of hickory
Hickory and ash and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll catch you by the smoke

[Refrain]
While you lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling
In the pale moonlight

[Verse 4]
Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil

[Refrain]
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
