G C
I've been a moonshiner for many a year,
D G
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer.
G C
I'll go to some hollow and I set up me still
D G
and i'll make you a gallon fer a ten shillin bill.
G
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
C
I'm a long ways from home.
D G
And if you don't like me well leave me alone.
G C
I'll eat when I'm hungry and I'll drink when I'm dry,
D G
And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die.
G C
I'll go to some hollow in this count-er-ey,
D G
Ten gallons of wash i can go on a spree.
G C
No women to follow the world is all mine,
D G
And I love none so well as I love the moonshine.
G
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
C
I'm a long ways from home.
D G
And if you don't like me well leave me alone.
G C
I'll eat when I'm hungry and I'll drink when I'm dry,
D G
And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die.
G C
O Moonshine dear Moonshine oh how I love thee,
D G
Ya kill me ol' father but ar' ya try me.
G C
Oh bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine,
D G
Oh it's breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
G
I'm a rambler I'm a gambler
C
I'm a long ways from home.
D G
And if you don't like me well leave me alone.
G C
I'll eat when I'm hungry and I'll drink when I'm dry,
D G
And if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die.
