Música - Moonshiner

Cat Power, a partir de uma canção tradicional



I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
And if you don't like me you can 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

I've been a moonshiner for many a year
and I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
I'll go to some hollow and I'll set up my still
and I'll make you a gallon for a ten shilling bill

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
And if you don't like me you can 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

I'll go to some hollow in this country
Ten gallons of wash and I'll go on a spree
No woman to follow and the world is all mine
I love none so well as I love the moonshine

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a long way from home
And if you don't like me you can 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

Oh moonshine, dear moonshine, oh how I love thee
You killed my poor father but you'll never get me
Bless all moonshiners and bless all moonshine
For their breath smells as sweet as the dew on the vine
