Moonshiner - MoriArty

I’ve been a moonshiner

For many long years

And I’ve spent all my money

On whiskey and on beer

I go to some hollow

And sit at my still

And if whiskey don’t kill me

Then I don’t know what will

Moonshine, dear moonshine

How I love thee

You killed my old father

Now you try me

God bless the moonshiners

And bless the moonshine

Their taste is as sweet as

The dew 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 drink when I’m dry

And if the tree don’t

Well I’ll live til I die

Moonshine, dear moonshine

How I love thee

You killed my old father

And now you try me

God bless them pretty women

I wish they was mine

Their lips are as sweet as

The dew on the vine
