Robert Calvert - Moonshine In The Mountains lyrics

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.
