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 glowing and really I was knowing
I was really hot on the track
But in D.C. they said it couldn´t´ 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

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 knew 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...
