Lyrics: Revenooer Man

(Written by: 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 a-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.

--- 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 known 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...
