Get you a copper kettle, get you a copper coil
  Fill it 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 just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
    Build you a fire with hickory, hickory, ash and oak
  Don't use no green or rotten wood, they'll get you by the smoke
  You'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
  Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
    My daddy he made whiskey, my granddaddy he did too
  We ain't paid no whiskey tax since 1792
  You'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
  Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
