Tommy Makem - The Moonshiner lyrics

I've been a moonshiner for many a year And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer I'll go to some hollow and I'll set up my still And I'll make you a gallon for a ten shilling bill [Chorus:] I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home And if you don't like me You can leave me alone I'll eat when I'm hungry And I'll drink when I'm dry And if moonshine don't k** me I'll live till I die I'll go to some hollow in this country Ten gallons of wash and I'll go on a spree No woman to follow and the world is all mine I love none so well as I love the moonshine Moonshine dear moonshine oh how I love thee You k**ed my poor father but dare you k** me Bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine For their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
