I've been a moonshiner for forty long years
Spent all my money on whiskey and beer
I go to some hauler,
set up my still
I'll make you a gallon for a two dollar bill
I'm a rambler,
I'm a gambler,
I'm a long way from home
If you don't like me, leave me alone
I eat when I'm hungry and I drink when
I'm dry If the moonshine won't kill me,
I'll live till I die
Oh,
well,
I go to some hauler out in the country
Ten gallons of wash and I go on a spree
No woman to follow,
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
If you don't like me,
leave me alone I eat when I'm hungry and I drink when I'm
dry If the moonshine won't get me,
I'll live till
I die Oh, moonshine, moonshine, how I love thee
You killed my old father, how dare you try me
Bless all moonshiners,
bless all moonshine Your breath is as sweet as the dew on the vine
I'm a rambler,
I'm a gambler,
I'm a long way from home If you don't like me,
leave me alone
I eat when I'm hungry and I drink when
I'm dry If the moonshine won't get me,
I'll live till I die
Oh,
well,
it's moonshine for Liza,
moonshine for me
Moonshine for Lou and she'll sing all the day
It's moonshine for breakfast,
moonshine for tea
Moonshine for dinner, it's moonshine for me
I'm a rambler,
I'm a gambler,
I'm a long way from home
If you don't like me, leave me alone
I eat when I'm hungry and I drink when
I'm dry If moonshine won't kill me,
I'll live till I die
