Copper Kettle Lyrics & Tabs by Joan Baez

Copper Kettle

guitar chords lyrics

Joan Baez

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

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)
