Now any this moonshine, moonshine do harm to many men
Now any this moonshine, moonshine do harm to many men
Now that is the reason why, yeah I'll believe, I'll make a change
Now, moonshine will make you shoot guns, make you wanna fight
At night when you go home, an you can't treat your wife right
You been drinkin' moonshine
Moonshine do harm to many men
Now that is the reason why
I believe I'll make a change
Now, moonshine will make you think that the policeman, is little deliver boy
Moonshine will make you think that street cars, is little children play toys
Then you been drinkin' moonshine
Moonshine does harm to many men
Now that is the reason why
I believe I'll make a change
Now, moonshine will make you go home, lay down 'cross your bed
An your wife try to talk wit' you, you say you didn't hear a word she said
You been drinkin' moonshine
Moonshine do harm to many men
Now that is the reason why
I believe I'll make a change
Now, moonshine will make you just drunk, n' walk out in the street
Moonshine will make you cuss out most, anybody you meet
You been drinkin' moonshine
Moonshine do harm to many men
Now that is the reason why
I believe I'll make a change
