Moonshine





I've been a moonshiner,
For seventeen long years,
I've spent all my money,
On whiskey and beer,
I go to some hollow,
And sit at my still
And if whiskey dont kill me,
Then I dont know what will,
I go to some bar room,
And drink with my friends,
Where the women cant follow,
And see what I spend,
God bless them pretty women,
I wish they was mine,
Their breath is as sweet,
The dew on the vine,
Let me eat when I am hungry,
Let me drink when I am dry,
A dollar when I am hard up,
Religion when I die,
The whole world's a bottle,
And life's but a dram,
When the bottle gets empty,
It sure ain't worth a damn.

Moonshine - Comedy by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle
A satire of stage melodrama (heroes, villains, narrow espcapes). Roscoe and Buster are looking for moonshiners in Virginia. Roscoe is captured and put in a cabin which is blown up by dynamite (then saved when he, as director, runs the film backward). A feud between the Owens and the Gillettes ends when the last remaining Gillette is killed, but new trouble erupts for the mountain folk with the arrival of a U.S. revenue agent and his assistant. The revenuers search high and low for the secret hideaway where the mountain people prepare illegal alcohol, but end up in deep trouble that only a little movie magic can save them from.
 

Full version of Arbuckle's Moonshine - poor quality with no music but interesting just the same.
