I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home And if you don't like me, Well, leave me alone I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry And if moonshine don't k** me, I'll live til I die I've been a moonshiner for many a year I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer I'll go to some hollow, I'll set up my still And I'll make you a gallon for a ten shilling bill I'll go to some hollow in this count-er-y Ten gallons of wash I can go on a spree No women to follow, the world is all mine I love none so well as I love the moonshine Oh, moonshine, dear moonshine, oh, how I love thee You k**ed me old father, but ah you try me Now bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
