Verse 1:
DG
Put no stone at my head, no flowers on my tomb
DA
No gold plated sign, in a marble pillared room
DG
The only thing I want, when they lay me in the ground
DAD
When I die tear my stillhouse down
Chorus:
G
Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust
D
Don't leave no trace of the hiding place, where I made that evil stuff
G
For all my time and money, no profit did I see
DAD
That old copper kettle was the death of me
Verse 2:
When I was a child, way back in the hills
I laughed at the men, who tended those stills
But that old mountain shine, it caught me somehow
When I die tear my stillhouse down
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Oh tell all your children, that Hell ain't no dream
'Cause Satan he lives, in my whiskey machine
And in my time of dying, I know where I'm bound
So when I die tear my stillhouse down
