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
