I've been a moonshiner
For many hard years
I'd cast a shadow
When the day begins
No woman to follow
No such trouble on my mind
To none was I so bona fide
As I was to my moonshine
I've been a moonshiner
For many hard years
I'd commit sins
Daylight could not bear
No word of God I'd follow
No such trouble on my mind
To none was I so bona fide
As I was to my moonshine
Now there be no flowers at my funeral
No religion when I die
To me none was so mala fide
As was my moonshine
