The Moonshiner is a folk song with disputed origins. It is believed that the song originated in America, then later made famous in Ireland. Others believe that it was the other way around. The Clancy Brothers stated on their recording that the song is of Irish origin, but again, this is disputed. Still it is thought of as the most popular of the Irish pub songs with a grand sing-along chorus. Bob Dylan performed "Moonshiner" around 1963 on his Bootleg series, 1-3. The song has also been performed by Cat Power, Rumbleseat, Cast Iron Filter, Bob Forrest and Uncle Tupelo.
