copper kettle

Joan Baez

Get you a copper kettle
And get you a copper coil
Cover with new cut corn mash
And never more youââ?¬â?¢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
Donââ?¬â?¢t use no green or rotten wood
Theyââ?¬â?¢ll catch you by the smoke

(Chorus)

My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ainââ?¬â?¢t paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two

(Chorus)
