Version 1[Verse 1] 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. [Chorus] 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. [Verse 2] 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. [Chorus] 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. [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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.
