I've been a moonshiner for many long years
I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
Go down in some holler and set up my stall
I'll sell you a gal for a two dollar bill
I'll go to some grocery, I'll drink with my friends
No one there to bother me to see what I spend
God bless pretty women, I wish one was mine
Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine
I'll eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm dry
If moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die
God bless those moonshiners, they're all friends of mine
Their breath is as sweet as seasoned moonshine
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I'm a long way from home
And if you don't like me, just leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry, and drink when I'm dry
If moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die
I've been a moonshiner for many long years
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some holler and set up my stall
I'll sell you a gal for a ten shilling bill
Oh moonshine, oh moonshine, oh, how I love thee
You killed my old father, now you try me
Now bless all moonshiners, bless all moonshine
Their breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine
I'm a rambler and a gambler, I'm a long way from home
And if you don't like me, just leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry, and drink when I'm dry
If the moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die
And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die
