The Moonshiner
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 alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry
and I'll drink when I'm dry
and if moonshine don't kill me
I'll live till I die
I've been a moonshiner
for manys a year
I 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
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 alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry
and I'll drink when I'm dry
and if moonshine don't kill me
I'll live till I die
I'll go to some hallow
in this country
ten gallons of wash
I can go on a spree
no women to follow
the word is all mine
and 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
then leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry
and I'll drink when I'm dry
and if moonshine don't kill me
I'll live till I die
Oh moonshine Oh moonshine
Oh how I love thee
you killed my auld father
but will you try me
Oh bless all moonshiners
and bless all moonshine
Their breath smells 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 alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry
and I'll drink when I'm dry
and if moonshine don't kill me
I'll live till I die
