G Am7 G Am7 Get you a copper kettle, get you a copper coil, Fill it with new-made corn mash C G/B 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/B 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.
