CAROLINA MOONSHINER
written by Doug Moreland, ASCAP (composer/author and publisher)

Carolina moonshiner
Shine on me
The moon ain’t lit up Texas
Since your last trip from Tennessee
Knoxville to Startzville
The road ain’t finer
The river’s mighty thirsty
For a Carolina Moon Shiner

You got your Pontiac Bonneville
From an old man in Sevierville
Everybody said you got a steal
That’s why they call you Hundred Dollar Bill
Billy Applejack
You got ten cases in the back
Maybe if you make some cash
You’ll buy a brand new Cattlelac

Carolina moon shiner
Shine on me
The moon ain’t lit up Texas
Since your last trip from Tennessee
Knoxville to Startzville
The road ain’t finer
The river’s mighty thirsty
For a Carolina Moon Shiner

Your Grand Daddy’s Grand Daddy
Used to run a little rum
Everybody says you’re fallin’ in the foot steps
Of your Grand Daddy’s first son
A few people said your pa
Was gonna mess around and get caught
Moon shine is his stock and trade
Ya ain’t never gonna change
