Well, I was sent to a place in North Carolin'
To check up on a moonshine still
But when I got there to my surprise
I could see a little light on the hill

Well, the fire was a glowing already 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, I'm a revenooer man
I got a badge in my pocket and a gun on my hip
Damn 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
Damn moonshiners better never make a slip
'Cause I'm a revenooer man, yeah, I'll get 'em if I can

Well, when I got there the woods were bare
Must've known I was on my way
Well, I heard the branches shatter as 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 forty-five with loads to fill
Dragging and shagging to another hill
It's the revenooer man and he'll get us if he can
Hey, I'm the revenooer man, and I'll get 'em if I can
