Theme Song Lyrics[]
Note that some lyrics differ slightly with special guests singing the theme song. These lyrics are from the official recording with Craig Cackowski singing as Jasper Mannerlodge / Banjo Bindlestuff.
- Gather 'round all ye hobos and hear my tale
- Of riches to rags, towncars to rails
- Fell for a woman, didn't know what to call her
- She was the princess of Moonshine Holler
- (The beautiful princess of Moonshine Holler)
- Packed my life in a bindle, cast my fate to the wind
- The New Haven Central was my only friend
- Changed my name, now it ain't worth a dollar
- My cup overfloweth in Moonshine Holler
- (A heaven on Earth called Moonshine Holler)
- With a gullet dry and an empty tummy
- With Lightning, and Hogjaw, and Skeets, and Gummy
- The tales we tell just keep getting taller
- Paving the way up to Moonshine Holler
- (Follow them Gents up to Moonshine Holler)
- My hobo princess there awaits
- Where the brakeman flags the lonesome freights
- WIth a trail of rails I was born to follower
- I'll be her prince in Moonshine Holler
- (She'll make you a man up in Moonshine Holler)
- I'll meet you brother in Moonshine Holler
