Moonshine In The Mountains

You can call me a hog-drunken swine
because I like drinking wine
but I'm really not drunk all the time
I was sober when I made up this rhyme.
There's Moonshine in the mountains
and it's going so cheap
so grab yourself a bucket
a still's water runs deep.
There's an injun who married a squaw
'cause her feet were size twenty four
I'll tell you what he marridged her for
if you help me get up from this floor.
There's Moonshine in the mountains
and it's going so cheap
so grab yourself a bucket
a still's water runs deep.
Well the reason this redskin got wed
to his freak-footed bride like I said
has completely gone out of my head
won't you please pass that bottle instead.
There's Moonshine in the mountains
and it's going so cheap
so grab yourself a bucket
a still's water runs deep.
I remember it much better now
it had something to do with a cow
she could milk it with one foot and plough
with the other ... no that ain't right somehow
There's Moonshine in the mountains
and it's going so cheap
so grab yourself a bucket
a still's water runs deep.
I recall that they both came to town
she was wearing a Buffalo gown
and the old man when he saw my frown
said she's great when she treads them grapes down
There's Moonshine in the mountains
and it's going so cheap
so grab yourself a bucket
a still's water runs deep.
