I've been a [Eb] moonshiner for many a year, I've spent all my money on whiskey [E] and beer.
I'll go to some hollow [D] and I'll set [Eb] up my still, And I'll make you a gallon for a ten shill and bill.
[E]
[Eb] I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from [G] home, And [Ebm] if you don't like [Eb] me, well, leave me [E] alone.
I'll eat when [B] I'm hungry [Eb] and I'll drink when I'm dry, And if moonshine [Db] don't kill me, I'll live till [E] I die.
[B]
[E]
[Eb] I'll go to some hollow [G] [Db] in this country, [G] Ten gallons [Ebm] of whiskey can go [Dbm] on a spree.
[Eb] No women to follow, the world is all mine, [Ebm] And I love none so well as I [B] love the [E] moonshine.
[Bb] I'm a [Abm] rambler, I'm a gambler, [Db] I'm a long ways from [B] home, And if you don't like me, [Ab] well, leave me alone.
[Bb] I'll eat when [E] I'm hungry [A] and I'll drink when [D] I'm dry, [Db] And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till I [E] die.
[B]
[E] [Db] Oh moonshine, dear [Gbm] moonshine, oh how I love thee, [Db] You [B] kill me, oh father, but [Ab] are you try [Em] me.
Oh bless all [Eb] moonshiners and bless all moonshine, Oh, [D] it's bread smells as sweet [Eb] as the dew on the [E] vine.
[Bb] I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, [Eb] I'm a long ways from home, [B] And if you don't [Gb] like me, well, leave me [E] alone.
I'll eat when I'm hungry and [Dbm] I'll drink when [Eb] I'm dry, And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live till [E] I die.
