I've been a moonshiner For many long years And I've spent all my money On whiskey and on beers I go to some hollow And sit at my still And if whiskey don't k** me Then I don't know what will Oh, moonshine, dear moonshine How I love thee You k**ed my old father Now you try me God bless the moonshiners And bless the moonshine Their lips are as sweet as The dew on the vine I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler
I'm a long way from home And if you don't like me Then leave me on my own I'll drink when I'm hungry And I'll drink when I'm dry And if a tree don't fall on me I'll live til I die Moonshine, moonshine, moonshine How I love thee You k**ed my old father And now you try me God bless them pretty women I wish they were mine Their taste is as sweet as The dew on the vine
