Moonshiner Lyrics



I've been a moonshiner for many's the year

Spent all me money on whiskey and beer

I'll go to some hollow and I'll set up me still

And I'll make you a gallon for a ten-shilling bill



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 and I'll drink when I'm dry

If the moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die



I'll go to some hollow in this counterey

Ten gallons of wash I can go on a spree

No woman to follow and the world is all mine

I love none so well as I love the moonshine



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 and I'll drink when I'm dry

If the moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die



Oh moonshine dear moonshine oh how I love thee

You killed me poor father but dare ye try me

Bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine

Its breath is as sweet as the fruit 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 well leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry and I'll drink when I'm dry

If the moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die



There's moonshine for Liza, moonshine for May

Moonshine for Lou and she'll sing all the day

Moonshine for me breakfast, moonshine for me tay

It's moonshine me hearties, it's moonshine for me!



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 and I'll drink when I'm dry

If the moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die
