I'm a-makin' whiskey
|
On the Rattlesnake Shelf
|
I'm a-gonna drink some
|
And the rest I'll sell
|
Me and my baby
|
Are comin' into town
|
I'm makin' whiskey
|
Going to bring some down
|
I gotta thirty feet of copper
|
Running through the stream
|
Bang it like a hammer
|
When the water hits the steam
|
Stoke it like a steamboat
|
Comin' down the line
|
I'm makin' whiskey
|
Do you want to make time
|
I'm makin' whiskey
|
On the Rattlesnake Shelf
|
I'm a-gonna drink some
|
And the rest I'll sell
|
Me and my baby, comin' into town
|
I'm makin' whiskey
|
Gonna bring some down
|
I'm a-workin' in the morning
|
'Fore the Revenue Man
|
Come a-lookin' around
|
With a paper in his hand
|
Stick in your finger
|
And it tastes so fine
|
It'll make you go crazy
|
Stick it too many times
|
I'm makin' whiskey
|
On the Rattlesnake Shelf
|
I'm a-gonna drink some
|
And the rest I'll sell
|
Me and my baby, comin' into town
|
I'm makin' whiskey
|
Going to bring some down
|
I'm makin' whiskey
|
Going to bring some down
|
