- The Moonshiner LyricsI've been a moonshiner for many a year
and i've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
i'll go to some hollow and i'll set up my still
and i'll make you a gallon for a ten shilling bill
Chorus:
i'm a rambler, i'm a gambler,
i'm a long way from home
and if you don't like me
you can leave me alone
i'll eat when i'm hungry
and i'll drink when i'm dry
and if moonshine don't kill me
i'll live till i die
I'll go to some hollow in this country
ten gallons of wash and i'll go on a spree
no woman to follow and the world is all mine
i love none so well as i love the moonshine
Chorus
Instrumental verse and chorus
Moonshine dear moonshine oh how i love thee
you killed my poor father but dare you kill me
bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine
for their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
Chorus x 2
