| Well I was sent to a place | 
| Down in North Carolina | 
| To check up on a moonshine still | 
| But when I got there to my surprise | 
| I could see a little light on the hill | 
| Well the fire was a-glowin' | 
| Already I was know | 
| That I was really hot on the track | 
| But the NVC said it couldn’t be me | 
| Yeah I’ll be the one to bring it back | 
| Cause I’m a revenue man, yes a revenue man | 
| I got a badge on my pocket and a gun on my hip | 
| I find moonshiners and I never make a slip | 
| I’m a revenue man, I’ll get ‘em if I can | 
| Well the moon was shinin' tonight | 
| When I looked down the river | 
| I noticed on the side of the hill | 
| I could see a red light | 
| Glowin' really bright | 
| I knew it had to be a still | 
| Yeah people down the road | 
| Said it wasn’t far | 
| But you oughta know someone | 
| 'Cause when the moonshiners knew | 
| That I carry a star | 
| I bet my bottom dollar | 
| That I’ll have ‘em on the run | 
| 'Cause I’m a revenue man, yes a revenue man | 
| I got a badge on my pocket and a gun on my hip | 
| I find moonshiners and I never make a slip | 
| I’m a revenue man, I’ll get ‘em if I can |
