Copper Kettle - Mary Black

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
