Lyrics:
First verse
The mahogany is dusty, All the pipes are very rusty, And the good old fashioned ""musty"" Doesn't musty anymore; All the stuff got bum and bummer, From the middle of the summer, Now the bar is ""on the hummer,"" And ""For Rent"" is on the door:First
Refrain
How sad and still tonight, By the old distillery! And how the cobwebs cob, In its old machinery! But in the mountain tops, Far from the eyes of cops, Oh! how the moon shines on the moon shine so merrily! How sad and still tonight, By the old distillery! And how the cobwebs cob, In its old machinery! But in the mountain tops, Far from the eyes of cops, Oh! how the moon shines on the moonshine so merrily! How sad and meeerrily!
Second verse
Goodness me, how mis’ry doubles! Ain’t one thing to use for bubbles, For to drown away your troubles, Now the tide has gone and went; Days and nights are getting bleaker, Shiv’ring for an old time sneaker, Even water’s getting weeker, ‘Bout one tenth of one percent:
Second refrain
How sad and still tonight, By the old distillery! And how the mourners mourn, By the Lager Brewery! So, Mister, if you please, Don’t let nobody sneeze, Up where the moon shines on the moonshine so stillily! How sad and stillily!
