Taking from the rich of spirit
|
Giving to the poor of heart
|
Guilty of a human weakness
|
He was known by all
|
As a moonshine bandit
|
He was a moonshine bandit
|
He was not like them at all.
|
Not just another common criminal
|
Oh no, he was not like them
|
They were different men
|
They would not dare
|
But he was there to do it for them
|
He was a moonshine bandit
|
A moonshine bandit
|
He took from the rich of spirit
|
And gave to the poor of heart
|
Guilty of a human passion
|
Which tears his heart apart
|
Ah, she was not like them at all
|
She would cry each time the night would fall
|
Oh boy, if she only knew
|
What I'm going to tell you
|
She'd never have to suffer from a broken heart
|
Moonshine bandit
|
A moonshine bandit
|
She would pine away each hour
|
In her fantasy she would be
|
Set free from her tower
|
Each night she would wait in vain
|
For a savior without a name
|
Then one night it happened
|
He came to her
|
He was a moonshine bandit
|
A moonshine your light on her
|
Take her away, moonshine bandit
|
Now two lovers appear every
|
Year above the milky way
|
Do you believe in magic?
|
Can you see it my way?
|
Two lovers appear every year
|
Above the milky way
|
Can you dig it?
|
Do you believe in magic?
|
