G      Am7        G    Am7
Get you a copper kettle,
get you a copper coil,
Fill it with new-made corn mash
C           G          Am
and never more you'll toil.

Chorus:
             C                G
You'll just lay there by the juniper
  C                 G
while the moon is bright,
 C           G     Am
Watch them jugs a filling
        C        G
In the pale moonlight.

Build you a fire with hickory,
hickory, ash and oak,
Don't use no green or rotten wood;
C
they'll get you by the smoke.

Chorus:
             G                C
You'll just lay there by the juniper
  G                 C
while the moon is bright,
 G          C
Watch them jugs a-filling
                 G
In the pale moonlight.

My daddy, he made whiskey;
my granddaddy, he did too.
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
      Am  C
since 1792.

Chorus:
             G                C
You'll just lay there by the juniper
  G                 C
while the moon is bright,
 G                 C
Watch them jugs a filling
                 G
In the pale moonlight.
        C        G
In the pale moonlight.
