Moonshine In The Mountains - Robert Calvert

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 waters run deep

There’s an injun who married a squaw

'Cause her feet, they were size twenty four

I’ll tell you what he marridged her for

When 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 waters run 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 waters run 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 waters run 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 waters run deep
