  • 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 it tastes like heaven

    Get those bottles on the road young man
    Oh I am a bootlegger
    With a trunk load full of moonshine
    And my daddy tried to quell my crimes
    But I just couldn't let it go
    My heart was set on money
    And the open road in the moonlight
    Sooner or later I been 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 were 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
    A little bottle of good time
    Burns like hell but 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
    Get your howl at the moonlight
    Four till the morning, better hold on tight
    Sleep all day cause we live by night

    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
    It burns like hell but it tastes like heaven Writer/s: Foy Vance, WB Studios
