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, I’ll drink when I’m dry
And if the moonshine don’t kill me I’ll live till I die
I’ll go to some hollow in this country
Ten gallons of wash and I’ll go on a spree
No women to follow and the world is all mine
I love none so well as I love the moonshine
Moonshine, dear moonshine, oh, how I love thee
You killed my poor father but dare you try me
Bless all the moonshiners and bless the moonshine
It’s breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
There’s moonshine for Molly and moonshine for May
Moonshine for Tom and he’ll sing all the day
Moonshine for me breakfast, moonshine for me tea
Moonshine oh me hearties! It’s moonshine for me!
