Moonshiner Lyrics

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
