What, the one that goes "I'm a rambler I'm a gambler I'm a long way from home and if you don't like me then leave me alone.. I'll eat when I'm hungry and I'll drink when I'm dry and if moonshine don't kill me I'll live till I die"?

Or maybe the one... "I'm a rambler, Lord, I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from my home If the people, Lord, they don't, they can leave me alone. For it's dark Lord & it's raining & the moon gives off no light my pony can't hardly travel on this dark road at night". Barry

You sure you don't mean Buffy St. Marie's "Piney Wood Hills"?

I'm a rambler & rover & a wanderer it seems / I've travelled all over chasing my dreams / But a dream should come true & a heart should be filled / And a life should be lived on the Piney Wood Hills.

THE MOONSHINER

I've been a Moonshiner for many a year,

I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer.

I go to some hollow and I set up me still

And I'll make you a gallon for a ten-shilling bill

Chorus:/ I'm a rambler; I'm a gambler; I'm a long way from home

And if you don't like me; Well, leave me alone

I'll eat when I'm hungry; and I'll drink when I'm dry

And if moonshine don't kill me; I'll live 'til I die.

Moonshine, oh Moonshine, oh how I love thee

You killed me old father and now you'll try me

Oh! bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine

Their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine.

I'll set up a hollow in this country

Ten gallons of wash - I can go on a spree

No women to follow, the world is all mine

I love them so well and I love the Moonshine!

-Gene

Gene, That's the one that I was thinking of.. it's great fun getting huge amounts of people singing it.. especially when they're silly, heat-crazed RenFaire workers screaming the verses to the sky and cheering every time thunder booms and it starts raining again. *giggles a little and wanders off muttering something about Irish Mist*
