| Well, 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, the fire was glowing and really I was knowing
|
| I was really hot on the track
|
| But in D.C. they said it couldn’t' be
|
| But I’ll be the one to bring 'em back
|
| 'Cause I’m a revenooer man
|
| Hey, I’m a revenooer man
|
| I got a badge in my pocket
|
| And a gun on my hip
|
| And them moonshiners
|
| Better never make a slip
|
| 'Cause I’m a revenooer man
|
| Yeah, I’ll get 'em if I can
|
| --- Instrumental ---
|
| 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
|
| 'Cause I’m a revenooer man
|
| Yeah, I’m a revenooer man
|
| I got a badge in my pocket
|
| And a gun on my hip
|
| Them moonshiners better never make a slip
|
| 'Cause I’m a revenooer man
|
| Yeah, I’ll get 'em if I can
|
| Well when I got back the woods were bare
|
| Must’ve knew I was on my way
|
| Well, I heard the branches shatter
|
| And they started to scatter
|
| I heard two or three of them say
|
| It’s the revenooer man
|
| It’s revenooer man
|
| He’s got a big 45 and loads to fill
|
| Dragging and shagging to another hill
|
| It’s the revenooer man
|
| And he’ll get us if he can
|
| Yeah, I’m the revenooer man
|
| And I’ll get 'em if I can… |
