text: what song has the lyrics "if the whiskey don't kill me i don't know what will"?   moonshiner  i've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years and i spent all my money on whiskey and beer and i go to some hollow and set up my still if whiskey don't kill me lord, i don't know what will  and i go to some barroom to drink with my friends where the women they can't follow to see what i spend god bless them pretty women i wish they was mine with breath as sweet as the dew on the vine  let me eat when i'm hungry let me drink when i'm dry two dollars when i'm hard up religion when i die the whole world is a bottle and life is but a dram when the bottle gets empty lord, it sure ain't worth a damn
