I am amazed that I have a reason to link the pleasant song Copper Kettle for a second time. I can’t remember the other topic about a month or so ago.

Copper Kettle (The Pale Moonlight)
Written by: A.F. Beddoe (Bob Dylan on Self Portrait and Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell covers later on).

Get you a copper kettle, get you a copper coil
Fill it with new made corn mash and never more you’ll toil

You’ll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight.

Build you a fire with hickory, hickory, ash and oak.
Don’t use no green or rotten wood, they’ll get you by the smoke.

You’ll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight.

My daddy he made whiskey, my granddaddy he did too.
We ain’t paid no whiskey tax since 1792

You’ll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright.
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight.
