Moonshine

Goin’ north, cross the line
sell a bit of muscadine, homebrew, 
and moonshine

steal my horse, but not my stein
got to have my muscadine, homebrew,
and moonshine

probly shut me up fur nine
fur making, muscadine, homebrew, 
and moonshine

I tolt the law it wont mine
not the muscadine, homebrew,
and moonshine.

It bees sumpthin sooo fine
thet muskidin, hoembrow,,,
an moneshinnnn, (hic)
