Muzzarelas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.
The lyrics of "1991" by Muzzarelas seem to celebrate moonshining, a practice that was popular during the prohibition era. The song advises the listener on how to make moonshine, with step-by-step instructions on how to build a copper kettle and coil and fill it with corn mash to create the beloved alcoholic drink. The song also highlights the importance of using proper firewood and warns against using green or rotten wood that could disrupt the process of making moonshine.
The song then goes on to narrate a family history of moonshining, proudly proclaiming that they have not paid any whiskey tax since the year 1792. The lyrics suggest that the family tradition of moonshining has been passed on for generations, from the daddy to the granddaddy and now to the singer of the song. The imagery of laying down by the juniper tree and watching the jugs fill up in the pale moonlight paints a vivid picture of the secretive and leisurely nature of moonshining.
