No dimes in your pocket 
No bills in your wallet 
No cash in the bank 
Ain?t no good at all 

Honey you?re not wise 
You don?t realise 
People talk you know 
Guess what I?ve been told 
When you come home late 
That beat look on your face 
Don?t tell me it?s because 
You?re working night and day 
I?m not blind 
I got eyes you see 
You?re a mean moonshiner 

You?ve been seen down at Joe?s 
Spending all of my dough 
Splashing bourbon and rye 

Playing randy and dandy, the game stakes are high 

Honey you?re a lie 
Just a no good guy 
Phoney Romeo 
In a late late show 
When I took you home 
To mama she said 
This guy looks like 
He?s got a hole in his head 
Lord protect us from evil she cried 
He?s a mean moonshiner 

Honey don?t you grieve 
When I take my leave 
I ain?t gonna cry 
For my last goodbye 
I?m gonna take that door 
Don?t care what you say 
You never did say much anyway 
I care no longer 
For the company 
Of a mean moonshiner
