Baez, Joan - Copper Kettle Lyrics
Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
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
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two
[Chorus]

Baez, Joan Copper Kettle Comments
So many of us agree with you, Joan!
Get you a copper kettle
Get you a copper coil
Cover with new made corn mash
And never more you'll toil
You just lay there by the juniper
While the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-fillin
In the pale moonlight
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two
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
Thank you so much for sharing Joan with her beautiful voice singing a “feel-good” song.
Corn grain, starch converted by cooding and barly malt, fermented: no wood, and no lead solder. In moderation if you plese.
Sounds great! Makes me think of an old friend.
Only revenuer men would down vote this video. 'Shine forever!
I love this song, and she does it beautifully.
How will the socialist utopia provide, if these assholes don't pay their taxes?
Momenteel heel relevant deze muziek, het had best de tune van "Moonshiners" op Discovery mogen zijn.
The government has no right to take any money from anyone for anything. That is outright theft.
You are wrong. We all use public roads, police protection, fire protection. It takes taxes for all this stuff.
Only in the mind of the statist who thinks government will save him. Privatisation is best.
She's simply great!
Sings like an angel. I wish someone would post Bob Dylan's version tho.
Listen to Tony Joe White's version it's the only one with real feeling everyone else is just singing the words.
@Dinosaur World Don't like it. I much prefer Joan or Country Gentlemens versions.
Fuck Dylan. The Country Gentleman's version is the best.
tell me I aint a hillbilly lol
Stunningly beautiful, thank you!
dylans version, no way. I hav always loved this song and play it on occasion. the irish sing the praises of poteen, (irish moonshine) but the americans tell you how to make it!!!
do clarify. because for me, dylan's version . . . Every way. I treasure his original from the Self Portrait LP, and also Joan Baez's. So what's your point?
If you take her advice and no more, It'd blind ya!
Such a great voice. Effortless singing.
One of the greats if not the greatest.
