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 jugs all 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 jugs all a-filling
In the pale moonlight
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain’t paid no whiskey tax
Since 1792
So we’ll just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs all a-filling
In the pale moonlight

"So elegant … relaxing in the way that pondering a Zen koan is relaxing, and sweet in the way that the wounded, honey-voiced blues of Miss. John Hurt are sweet."
– Pitchfork
"Music that resides at the seams of Appalachia and the cosmos."
