'Cause the moonshiner's daughter cooks up corn and water And makes me liquor all night long Well, the preacher was as drunk as he could get, lord And her brothers and her dad were too, of course Her mom whispered in my ear, "if she don't satisfy you, dear Just come on down and get you some at the source." I married a moonshiner's daughter How could I go wrong?
