Lyrics Foy Vance – Moonshine

Text:

Moonshine
Rum, whiskey and rye
We get the top and tail and the mountain trail
But we pour that heart in the jar that’s right son

Moonshine, little bottle of good time
Burns like hell but it tastes like heaven

Get those bottles on the road young man
Pour one out and put a leg up
We’re the trouble on for the moonshine
And my daddy tried to quell my crimes
But I just couldn’t let it go
My heart was set on money,
And the open road and the moonlight
Sooner or later I’ll be meeting there

But ’til then, moonshine
Rum, whiskey and rye
We get the top and tail and the mountain trail
But pour that heart in a jar that’s right son
Moonshine, it’s a little bottle of good time
Burns like hell but it taste like heaven

I found myself a lover
She swore she’d never leave me
I found it hard to believe it
But it turned out to be the truth
But her heart was full of trouble
And it always gathered ’round me
Sooner or later we would meet an end

‘Til then, moonshine
Rum, whiskey and rye
We get the top and tail and the mountain trail

But pour that heart in a jar that’s right son
Moonshine, a little bottle of good time
Burns like hell but it taste like heaven

I got my blood to the board boys
Chasing the horizon
‘for the sun starts rising
Can’t have the moonshine getting low
And I brewed us up a batch, boy
And get you howling at the moonlight
Through to morning better hold on tight
Sleep all day ’cause we live by night

Oh moonshine
Rum, whiskey and rye
We get the top and tail and the mountain trail
But pour that heart in a jar that’s right son
Moonshine it’s a little bottle of good time
Burns like hell but it taste like heaven
