I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler,
I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me,
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
If the moonshine don't kill me,
I've been a moonshiner for many's a year
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow, set up my still
And I'll make you a gallon
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler,
I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me,
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
If the moonshine don't kill me,
I'll go to some hollow in this country
Ten gallons of wash I can go on a spree
No woman to follow, the world is all mine
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler,
I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me,
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me,
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
In the moonshine, don't kill me,
Oh moonshine, oh moonshine,
You killed me, poor father,
Now bless all moonshiners
Their breath smells as sweet
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler,
I'm a long ways from home
And if you don't like me,
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
If the moon shine, don't kill me,
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler,
I'm a long ways from home
An d if you don't like me,
I'll eat when I'm hungry,
