Irish Drinking Songs The Moonshiner Lyrics

THE MOONSHINER

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me, well leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry and I'll drink when I'm dry
And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I die.

I've been a moonshiner for many a year,
I've spent all my 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.

I'll go to some hollow in this country
Ten gallons of wash, I can go on a spree
No woman to follow, the world is all mine
And 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 dare you kill me
Oh, bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine
Oh, its breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
