Copper Kettle
Self Portrait
1970
Columbia
Paroles
Get you a copper kettle, get you a copper coil
Fill it with new made corn mash and never more you'll toil
You'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
Build you a fire with hickory, hickory, ash and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood, they'll get you by the smoke
You'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
My daddy he made whiskey, my granddaddy he did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax since 1792
You'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
Interprétation
Ballade sur l'eau-de-vie distillée en cachette, devenue l'un des rares titres appréciés du disque à sa sortie. Le narrateur y évoque son alambic et la tranquillité d'un hors-la-loi pacifique.
La chanson, popularisée par Joan Baez, convient parfaitement à la veine bucolique de Dylan en 1970. Sa mélodie tranquille et son texte d'hommage aux traditions rurales en font un morceau apaisé, presque hors du temps.
