Tear My Stillhouse Down Lyrics - Gillian Welch

Put no stone at my head, no flowers on my tomb 

No gold plated sign in a marble pillared room 

The one thing I want when they lay me in the ground 

[Chorus] 

When I die tear my stillhouse down 

Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust 

Don't leave no trace of the hiding place 

Where I made that evil stuff 

For all my time and money no profit did I see 

That old copper kettle was the death of me 

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

For all my time and money no profit did I see 

That old copper kettle was the death of me 

Oh tell all your children that Hell ain't no dream 

'Cause Satan he lives in my whisky machine 

And in my time of dying I know where I'm bound 

[Chorus] 

For all my time and money no profit did I see 

That old copper kettle was the death of me
