TEAR MY STILLHOUSE DOWN
INTRO:
Put no stone
at my head,
No flowers on
my tomb
No gold plat
ed sign, In
a marbled pil
lered room
The one thin
g I want, Wh
en they lay me
in the ground
When I die,
Tear my s
tillhouse down
Oh, Tear my
stillhouse dow
n Let it go t
o rust
Don't leave
no trace of th
e hiding place
, Where I mad
e that evil st
uff
For all my t
ime and money,
No profit di
d I see
That old cop
per kettle was
the death of
me
When I was a
child, Way
back in the hi
lls
I laughed at
the men, Who
tended those
stills
But that old
mountian shin
e, It caught
me somehow
When I die,
Tear my sti
llhouse down
Oh, Tear my
stillhouse dow
n Let it go t
o rust
Don't leave
no trace of th
e hiding place
, Where I mad
e that evil st
uff
For all my t
ime and money,
No profit di
d I see
That old cop
per kettle was
the death of
me
[INST] AS VERSE
Oh, Tell all
your children
, That Hell a
in't no dream
'Cause Satan
he lives, I
n my whiskey m
achine
And in my ti
me of dying,
I know where I
'm bound
When I die,
Tear my stil
lhouse down
Oh, Tear my
stillhouse dow
n Let it go t
o rust
Don't leave
no trace of th
e hiding place
, Where I mad
e that evil st
uff
For all my t
ime and money,
No profit di
d I see
That old cop
per kettle was
the death of
me
[OUTRO]
Th
at old copper
kettle was the
death of me
