The Moonshiner - The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem
Written by:Trad Clancy/Clancy/Makem
I've been a moonshiner for many a year
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow and I set up me still
And I'll make you a gallon fer a ten shillin' bill
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a long ways 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
And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die
I'll go to some hollow in this count-er-ey
Ten gallons of wash I can go on a spree
No women to follow the world 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 ways 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
And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die
O moonshine dear moonshine oh how I love thee
Ya kill me ol' father but ar' ya try me
Oh bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine
Oh it's breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a long ways 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
And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die
