The Moonshiner - The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem

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

I’ll drink when I’m dry

And if moonshine don’t kill me

I’ll live til I die

I’ve been a moonshiner for many a year

I’ve spent all me money on whiskey and beer

I’ll go to some hollow, I’ll set up my still

And I’ll make you a gallon for a ten shilling bill

I’ll go to some hollow in this count-er-y

Ten gallons of wash I can go on a spree

No women to follow, the world is all mine

I love none so well as I love the moonshine

Oh, moonshine, dear moonshine, oh, how I love thee

You killed me old father, but ah you try me

Now bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine

Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
