i was sent to a place in north carolina

to check up on a moonshine still

when i got there to my suprise

i could see a little light on the hill

well

'cause i'm a revenooer man

and a gun on my hip

and them moonshiners

'cause i'm a revenooer man

well

the moon was shining bright

as i looked down the river

i noticed on the side of the hill

i can see a red light that was glowing bright

i knew it had to be a still

well

the people down the road said it wasn't far

but i better know someone

'cause when the moonshiners know i carry a star

i'll bet my bottom dollar i'll have 'em on the run

well

i heard the branches shatter

and they started to scatter

i heard two or three of them say

dragging and shagging to another hill
