Now, any-'is, moonshine 

Moonshine do harm to many men 

Now any-'is, moonshine 

Moonshine do harm to many men 

Now, that is the reason why 

Yank, I believe I'll make a change 

Now, moonshine will make you shoot down 

Make you wanna fight 

Now n' when you go home 

An you can't, treat your wife right 

Well, you've 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 do 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 yo' bed 

An your wife try to talk wit'ch 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 get 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.
