Revenooer Man

(Johnny Paycheck)

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 couldnt' 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.

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...
