Moonshine

(Originally by Foy Vance)

Moonshine

Rum, whiskey, and rye

We give the top and tail to the mountain trail

But we pour that hard in a jar

Let's write some moonshine

Little bottle of good time

Burns like hell but tastes like heaven

Get those bottles on the road young man

Boy I am a bootlegger

With a treble ol' full of moonshine

Now my daddy tried to quell my crimes

Oh I just couldn't let it go

My heart was set on money

And the open road in the moonlight

Sooner or later I'll be meeting then

But till then

Moonshine

Rum, whiskey, and rye

We give the top and tail to the mountain trail

Pour that hard in a jar

Let's write some moonshine

It's a little bottle of good time

Burns like hell but it tastes like heaven

I found myself a lover

She swore she'd never leave me

I found it hard to believe it

But it turned out to be the truth

But my heart was full of trouble

And it always gathered 'round me

Sooner or later we'll be meeting then

But till then

Moonshine

Rum, whiskey, and rye

We give the top and tail to the mountain trail

Pour that hard in a jar

Let's write some moonshine

Little bottle of good time

Burns like hell when it tastes like heaven

I got my blood till the water boils

Chasing the horizon

Before the sun starts rising

Can I have the moonshine getting low?

And I brewed us up a batch boy

And get your howl at the moonlight

Four till the morning

Better hold on tight

Sleep all day cause we live by night

Oh moonshine

Rum, whiskey, and rye

We give the top and tail to the mountain trail

But we pour that hard in a jar

Let's write some moonshine

It's a little bottle of good time

Burns like hell but tastes like heaven
