When the moon shines down
on the Moonshine Mountain
There my gal waits by the spill
Since I'm gone she's been for long
And she knows I left against my will
The revenue men they come
and put me down
The trail of the lonesome pine
But I know she'll be a -waitin'
She has a way to pass the time
Thinkin' and a drinkin' and a drinkin' and
a thinkin' and a wonderin' if I'll come home.
She's a drinkin' and a thinkin'
and a thinkin' and a drinkin'
and a wonderin' if I'll come home.
Now the day I left old Moonshine Mountain
she said she would always care
As they took me down the trail
behind the still I saw her there
She gave a wink and a pointed with her pink
and I knew my gal's a lover would be true
Even though I'm far away
her mountain dew will see her through
Thankin' and a drinkin' and a drinkin' and
a thinkin' and a wonderin' if I'll come home
She's a drinkin' and a thinkin' and a thinkin' and a drinkin'
and a wonderin' if I'll come home
When the moon shines down
on the Moonshine Mountain
There she stays as the days go past
And I know she'll wait forever
Or at least as long as the moonshine lasts
She don't care for other fellers
She's one gal that's really mine
And I know she'll always be
If I keep her supplied with the
old moonshine
Drinkin' and a drinkin' and a drinkin'
And a thinkin' and a wonderin'
if I'll come home.
She's a -drinkin' and a -thinkin'
and a -thinkin'
and a -drinkin' and a -wonderin' if I'll
come home.
Now the day I left old Moonshine Mountain,
she said she would always care.
As they took me down the trail,
behind me still I saw her there.
She gave a wink and a -pointed with
And I knew my gal's
a lover would be true
Even though I'm far away
Her mountain dew will see her through
Thinkin' and a drinkin' and
a drinkin' and a thinkin'
And a wonderin' if I'll come home
She's a drinkin' and a thinkin'
and a thinkin' and a drinkin'
And a wonderin' if I'll
come home
