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.
