I am also looking for the complete lyrics to the moonshiner. (I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, If the moonshine don't kill me I'll live 'til I die, etc.)

Hi, Dwight - it's a good idea to search the database and the forum first, especially if you're looking for a song that's fairly well-known. The database lyrics are here, but they're not quite the lyrics I'm familiar with.
A forum search will bring up a couple of threads with more familiar lyrics, like this and this. Now, if we start making hints, maybe Dick will include a more commercially popular version in the next edition of the database. Of course, if we start making hints, we run the risk of having Dick come back and point out that there are already eleventy-seven versions of the song in the database, and the version by Liam Clancy's sister's brother's wife's husband might not be all that important to include.
But the song is here, in at least a couple of versions. Have fun with it.
