Revenooer Man lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I was sent to a place 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 fires was a-glowin', already I was knowin'
I was really hot on the track
But in D.C. they said it couldn't' be
Well I'll be the one to bring 'em back

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a revenuer man
Hey, I'm a revenuer 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 revenuer man
Yeah, I'll get 'em if I can

[Verse 2]
Well the moon was shining bright and I looked down the river
I noticed on the side of the hill
I could see a red light that was glowing white bright
I knew it had to be the 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
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a revenuer man
Yes, I'm a revenuer 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 revenuer man
Yeah, I'll get 'em if I can

[Verse 2]
Well when I got there, the woods was a-bare
They must've known I was on my way
Well, I heard the branches shatter as they started to scatter
I heard two or three of 'em say

[Chorus]
It's the revenuer man
Yeah, it's the revenuer man
He's got a big 45 with loads to fill
Draggin' and a-shaggin' to another hill
It's the revenuer man
And he'll get us if he can
