Copper Kettle Lyrics
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
And get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since 1792
While the moon is bright
Watched them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
Hickory and ash and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood
They'll get you by the smoke
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
Get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin'
In the pale moonlight
In the pale moonlight

written by A. F. Beddoe It is a happy-feet waltz, though the heroes are lying down hidden by the juniper. In real world I prefer John Brown to a moonshiner, but while listening to these lines I forget my beliefs.
