Up on the mountain in the deep dark wood Where the maple and the ginseng grow Lives a proud old man in a shotgun shack With a beard as white as snow Like granddaddy and his daddy before Heu0027s the keeper of an old-time trade Cause a bushel of corn ainu0027t nothing compared To what a gallon of shine will pay He don't get rich but he's doing alright Ainu0027t never had to wear no tie A man like that ain't fit for no city I reckon he would rather die Heu0027s got an old hound dog, a couple of hogs And his woman likes to can her fruit But the corn he takes, cause the liquor it makes Leaves you howling like a dog at the moon When the sun goes down on the mountain With the cry of the whippoorwill The old manu0027s out in the moonlight Keeping watch on his copper still That old hound dog's got something treed Down the mountain comes the blue ticku0027s croon And the old man's cooking up whiskey Beneath the light of the yellow moon Then one day a couple government men Tried to reap from where they never sowed That old moonshiner was ready to roll With a double barrel heavy load He said “Hey there boys, you're on my land You're barking up the wrong damn tree” And as he gunned ‘em down he cried aloud “Wonu0027t you have another drink on me?” When the sun goes down on the mountain With the cry of the whippoorwill The old manu0027s out in the moonlight Keeping watch on his copper still That old hound dog's got something treed Down the mountain comes the blue ticku0027s croon And the old man's cooking up whiskey Beneath the light of the yellow moon
