Lost Dog Street Band - Moonshiner

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1295739
Verse 1
And I've been a moonshiner
For seventeen long years
And I've spent all my money
On whiskey and beer
And I go to some hollow
And set up my still
And if whiskey don't kill me
Lord, I don't know what will

Verse 2
And I go to some bar room
Oh, and drink with my friends
Where the women can't follow
And see what I spend
God bless them pretty women
I wish oh they was mine
And their breath is as sweet
Oh, the dew on the vine

Verse 3
Let me eat when I'm hungry
Let me drink when I'm dry
A dollar when I am hard up
And religion when I die
The whole world's a bottle
And life's but a dram
When the bottle gets empty
God, it sure ain't worth a damn

Biography

edit bio
“Lost Dog Street Band was created in the winter of 2010 after a long and bitterly cold trek on foot to Tennessee. Splitting paths from their former project Barefoot Surrender, Benjamin Tod and Ashley Mae set out to craft their own original music as a duet. Drawing on inspiration of hard times on the road, personal tragedy, the power of love (and of course their dog) Benjamin continued on with a long legacy of songwriting that cuts to the quick. Knitting together musical influences from traditional country, old time, and blues Ashley Mae and Benjamin began to refine what is their original take on American storytelling songs. With their packs, fiddle, guitar, banjo, and pup they set out on foot traveling coast to coast by hopping freight, and hitchhiking with the vision of sharing their music. Along the way, they met many inspirational musicians. Amongst them was Nicholas and Shannon Ridout with whom they formed the project Spit Shine in the year 2012. After the tragic loss of their dear friend Nicholas, Lost Dog Street Band hit the road in search of solice and a deep seated need to continue sharing music as a source of comfort. Today, Benjamin and Ashley have made a home in the country side of Tennessee, working the land and carrying on their lives as full-time musicians. As they tour regularly, perhaps you will see them roaming across the country in their van with their dog Copper.” -via Lost Dog’s Official Facebook
