Joan Baez - Copper Kettle lyrics

Get you a copper kettle

And get you a copper coil

Cover with new cut corn mash

And never more you'll toil

Chorus:

You just lay there by the juniper

While the moon is high

And watch them jugs a-fillin

In the pale moonlight

Build your fires of hickory

Hickory or ash or oak

Don't use no green or rotten wood

They'll catch you by the smoke

(Chorus)

My daddy he made whiskey

My granddaddy did too

We ain't paid no whiskey tax

Since Seventeen Ninety Two

(Chorus)
