I've been a moonshiner

For many long years

I've spent all my money

On whiskey and beer

I go down in some hollow

And set up my still

I'll sell you a gallon for a two dollar bill

I'll eat when I'm hungry and I'll drink when I'm dry

If whiskey don't kill me Lord I'll live 'til I die

God bless them moonshiners they're all friends of mine

Their breath is a sweet as the dew on the vine

I'll go down in some grocery and I'll drink with my friends

No women to bother me or see what I spend

God bless them pretty women I wish one was mine

For their breath is more sweeter than even moonshine

God bless that pretty woman I wish she was mine

For her breath is more sweeter than even moonshine
