Clancy Brothers Moonshiner Lyrics

Moonshiner Lyrics

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.
