Makin' Whiskey

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
