Lyrics:

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me, then leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die

I've been a moonshiner for many's a year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow, I'll set up my still
And I'll make you a gallon for a ten shilling bill

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me, then leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
And if moonshin? don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die

I'll go to som? hollow in this country
Ten gallons of wash, I will go on a spree
No women to follow, the world is all mine
I love none so well as I love my moonshine

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me, then leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die

It's moonshine for Molly and moonshine for May
Moonshine for me love, she'll sing all the day
It's moonshine for breakfast and moonshine for tea
It's moonshine, me hearties, it's moonshine for me

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me, then leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die

Well, moonshine, dear moonshine, oh, how I love thee
You killed me old father, but ah you try me
I'll bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine
Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me, then leave me alone
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
And if moonshine don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die
