[A] [D]
Now Johnny was a fisherman who lived [G] out in the bay.
He [A] made a little moonshine to pass the [D] time away.
He made a little moonshine, a very [G] special brew.
[A] It caused the vice to prosperize, that good old mountain [D] dew.
The constable, he came round to Johnny, [G] he did say,
[A] I'd like to know who makes the moonshine out here [D] in the bay.
Now Johnny, being no one's fool, [G] quickly replied,
[A] Say man who makes the sunshine out in [D]
Sunnyside.
A rat and Johnny's cellar was [G] having quite a scoff.
[A] Oh Johnny put some moonshine there in hopes to [D] kill him off.
The rat he staggered out that night and sang out loud [G] and clear,
[A] How black the eyes of any cat this sight of [D] carbon here.

[G] [A] [D]
Well the parson said to Johnny, now [G] Johnny you must know,
[A] If you keep drinking moonshine to hell [D] you'll surely go.
Now parson answered Johnny, it is plainly to [G] be seen,
[A] I used it in me motorboat instead of [D] gasoline.
Well Johnny died and when the lost St.
Peter [G] he did meet,
[A] He noticed Johnny wasn't very steady [D] on his feet.
He said to Johnny, what is that you've got [G] there in your hand?
Don't [A] worry vice said Johnny, it's just me [D] moonshine can.
Well you cannot take it with you St.
Peter [G] he did stay,
[A] You'll have to leave your moonshine can outside the [D] pearly gate.
Well Johnny thought it over and told [G] St.
Peter no,
[A] I guess I'll take the moonshine can and trudge on down [D] below.
[A] [D]
