Copper Kettle

by Rick, Robin & Him

on The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 6: 1966 (2006)

[Verse 1]
Get you a copper kettle
And get you a copper coil
Cover with new laid corn mash
And never more you'll toil

[Chorus]
You just lay there by the junipers
While the moon is high
And watch them jugs a-fillin
In the pale moonlight

[Verse 2]
My daddy he made whiskey
My granddaddy did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax
Since Seventeen Ninety Two

[Chorus]
You just lay there by the junipers
While the moon is high
And watch them jugs a-fillin
In the pale moonlight

[Chorus]
Lay there by the junipers
While the moon is high
And watch them jugs a-fillin
In the pale moonlight

[Verse 3]
Get you a copper kettle
And get you a copper coil
Cover with new laid corn mash
And never more you'll toil

[Chorus]
You just lay there by the junipers
While the moon is high
And watch them jugs a-fillin
In the pale moonlight

[Verse 4]
Get you a copper kettle
And get you a copper coil
Get you a love most anything
And never more you'll toil
