Lighter, the lyrical differences are minor, except Galvin includes the less common last verse, "moonshine for Liza" etc. The tune is identical. Bob

MOONSHINER, Patrick Galvin. Riverside 12-604, ~ 1955?

I've been a moonshiner for many a year,
Spent all me money on whiskey and beer,
I'll go to some hollow and set up my still,
I'll make you a gallon for a two dollar bill

CHO   I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home,
          If you don't like me you can 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 till I die.

I'll go to some hollow in this counteree,
Ten gallons of wash, I can go on a spree,
No woman to follow, the world is all mine,
I love none so well as I love the moonshine.

Oh, moonshine, dear moonshine, oh how I love thee,
You killed me old father, but dare ye try me?
Oh bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine,
Its breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine.

I've moonshine for Liza and moonshine for May,
Moonshine for Lu, and she'll sing all the day,
Moonshine for me breakfast, moonshine for me tay,
Oh, moonshine, me hearties, it's moonshine for me.
