Moonshiner

Tune: Itself

I've been a moonshiner for many a year,
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
I'll go to some hollow and 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,
I'll drink when I'm dry,
And if the moonshine don't kill me,
I'll live till I die.

I'll go to some hollow in this coutnterie,
Then gallons of wash I can go on a spree,
No woman to follow, the world is all mine
I love none so well as I love the moonshine

Moonshine, dear moonshine, oh! how I love thee,
You killed my poor father, but dare you try me,
Now bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine,
Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine.
