Cry Baby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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,
It'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.

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.

Get you a copper kettle,
Acquire a copper container

Get you a copper coil.
Also acquire a copper tube

Fill it with new made corn mash
Use the container and tube to hold and transfer newly produced corn mash

And never more you'll toil.
You won't have to work hard anymore

You'll just lay there by the juniper,
You can relax by the juniper tree

While the moon is bright.
When the moon is shining

Watch them jugs a-filling
Observe as the jugs fill up

In the pale moonlight.
In the dim light of the moon

Build you a fire with hickory,
Use hickory wood to start a fire

Hickory, ash, and oak.
Or alternatively ash and oak wood

Don't use no green or rotten wood,
Avoid using freshly cut or decaying wood
