The Moonshiner The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem
I've been a moon[G]shiner for many a year,[C]
I [D]spent all me money on whiskey and b[G]eer.
[G]I'll go to some hollow and I s[C]et up me still
and i'll [D]make you a gallon fer a ten shillin b[G]ill.
[G]I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a [C]long ways from home.
[D]And if you don't like me well leave me [G]alone.
[G]I'll eat when I'm hungry and [C]I'll drink when I'm dry,
[D]And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I [G]die.
[G]I'll go to some hollow in this [C]count-er-ey,
[D]Ten gallons of wash i can go on a [G]spree.
[G]No women to follow the [C]world is all mine,
And I [D]love none so well as I love the moo[G]nshine.
[G]I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a [C]long ways from home.
[D]And if you don't like me well leave me [G]alone.
[G]I'll eat when I'm hungry and [C]I'll drink when I'm dry,
[D]And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I [G]die.
[G]O Moonshine dear Moonshine oh [C]how I love thee,
Ya k[D]ill me ol' father but ar' ya try [G]me.
[G]Oh bless all moonshiners and b[C]less all moonshine,
Oh it's br[D]eath smells as sweet as the dew on the v[G]ine
[G]I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
I'm a [C]long ways from home.
[D]And if you don't like me well leave me [G]alone.
[G]I'll eat when I'm hungry and [C]I'll drink when I'm dry,
[D]And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I [G]die.
