[Verse 1]
Get you a copper kettle, get you a copper coil
Fill it with new made corn mash and never more you'll toil
We'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight

[Verse 2]
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
We'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight

[Verse 3]
My daddy he made whiskey, my granddaddy he did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax since 1792
We'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight
In the pale moonlight

Bob Dylan (born Robert Zimmerman May 24, 1941), is an American singer-songwriter, writer, and artist who has influenced popular music and culture for more than five decades. Dylan has especially played a critical role in the American folk music revival.

Dylan’s songs are built from myriad political, social, philosophical and literary influences. Many of his anti-war and civil-rights-influenced songs set social unrest, as journalists widely named him the “spokesman for his generation” in the 1960s.

The musician has a signature change in voice and style in many different albums of his throughout the decades. He has notably explored and experimented with the genres of folk, rap, blues, and rock.
