Bob Dylan - Moonshiner (Studio Outtake - 1963 - Official Audio) 

Dylan's music has the power to portray so beautifully an image that one had never seen before. Not only that, we also experience it through his voice, guitar and harmonica. I can't stop listening to this masterpiece!!

I remember spending one dark cold February listening to this song when I was 15 and now in retrospect it was probably the last weeks that felt like “childhood” and I’m really thankful I got this gem as my send-off tune

And the whiskey doesn't kill him yet, we're lucky to have Dylan, thank God. How wonderful is this song!!

It is so heartwarming to see the comments section. I feel like Bob Dylan is a way to connect people together trough that weird feeling of happy melancholia that we all feel.

I read a critic years ago who said that if anyone thinks Bob Dylan can’t sing, they need to listen to this record. One of my absolute favourites - it certainly is stunning.

I think this is one of Bobs finest vocals. It is truly amazing.

One of Dylan's greatest early recordings... and Uncle Tupelo's 1990s version is, for me, one of the great Dylan covers. (I know it's an old folk song and not strictly a Dylan original, but the Tupelo version is VERY close to Dylan's particular take)

Glad this song has been posted again! One of my personal favorites.

he sido un licorero I've been a moonshiner durante 17 largos años For 17 long years he gastado todo mi dinero I've spent all my money Sobre whisky y cerveza On whiskey and beer voy a un hueco I go to some hollow Y siéntate en mi todavía And sit at my still Y si el whisky no me mata And if whiskey don't kill me Entonces no sé qué será Then I don't know what will voy a un bar I go to some bar room Y beber con mis amigos And drink with my friends Donde las mujeres no pueden seguir Where the women can't follow Y mira lo que gasto And see what I spend Dios las bendiga mujeres lindas God bless them pretty women desearía que fueran míos I wish they was mine Su aliento es tan dulce como Their breath is as sweet as El rocío en la vid The dew on the vine Déjame comer cuando tenga hambre. Let me eat when I am hungry Déjame beber cuando esté seco Let me drink when I am dry Un dólar cuando estoy en apuros A dollar when I am hard up Religión cuando muera Religion when I die El mundo entero es una botella The whole world's a bottle Y la vida no es más que un drama And life's but a dram Cuando la botella se vacía When the bottle gets empty Seguro que no vale la pena It sure ain't worth a damn

I've heard another version of this song, but this is the first time I'm hearing this one and I'm almost crying, Bob is my favorite singer forever

First heard this song on a 'bootleg' record I bought when I was 18 - I'm 69 now - it still gets to me !- the exceptional, unique, amazing Bob Dylan

This audio is perfect. The voice of Bob Dylan is clear and sweet... His harmonic completes the magic efect... Wonderful!!! We can see the moon appearing from behind the mountains... Thank you for available for us.

This is always one of my favourite Dylan songs to sing along to.

This is stunning

I’ve been saying for years that Dylan’s pitch on this song is perfect. Bob always serves the song and doesn’t try to dominate or overwhelm it. That’s part of what makes him the outstanding folk singer of this or any era. He learned that from the old blues singers and of course from Woody and Pete.

To anyone who says Dylan can't sing, listen to this with head phones alone with no outside distractions and then say that.

This Version,of This Song,is Nothing short of Spiritual. I feel if this song could hit the Spotify Top 10 list now,the world could Change.

En días difíciles volveré para acá siempre, a este sonido profundo

No matter how many times I listen, it hits me like the first. So human and bare. I close my eyes and see it all.

This man is a stunning and wonderful songwriter and musician.

I've been a moonshiner, For seventeen long years, I've spent all my money, On whiskey and beer, I go to some hollow, And sit at my still And if whiskey dont kill me, Then I dont know what will, I go to some bar room, And drink with my friends, Where the women cant follow, And see what I spend, God bless them pretty women, I wish they was mine, Their breath is as sweet, The dew on the vine, Let me eat when I am hungry, Let me drink when I am dry, A dollar when I am hard up, Religion when I die, The whole world's a bottle, And life's but a dram, When the bottle gets empty, It sure ain't worth a damn.

Let me eat when I'm hungry Let me drink when I'm dry A dollar when I'm hard up Religion when I die

How to make a desperately sad song beautiful.

^.".... I´M DROWNING MY TROUBLES IN WHISKEY AND BEER ,,," an old Irish Man once said to me ...

Is there anything this dear sweet man can't sing.....

Bob Dylan, i think has a great voice, no two ways about it, its the way he tells the story that makes him extra good, Slim Dusty here in Australia is simular, most people will tell you hes got a c..t of a voice, but i think he is the greatest singer ever R.I.P. SD. But like Bob he tells the story the best way possible 😂🙏 according to a fair few million people

Some people criticise Bob Dylan but I figure they've heard only a tiny fraction of his catalogue. Sad really, they surely don't know what they're missing, Keep on listening to the billboard 100/top of the pops boys.

People who say Bob Dylan can't sing know nothing about music.

You beautiful being. I would Italian kiss you right on the mouth. I have not found a full recording straight through that had this much soul in more than a few years. Thank you.

I am a tremendous fan of "early" Bob Dylan... and this is such a great song, and his rendition cuts to the heart.....

The fact that this wasn't even released until approx thirty years later speaks volumes. Imagine just having this in the back catalogue. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

"God bless them pretty women I wish they was mine Their breath is as sweet The dew on the vine" No words....

drunk in th emiddle of the night. Dylan.. man he can sing

I am here again listening to this wornderful song... Thank you once more, Bob.

Bob dylan is the only one that can truly sing

Oh man bobby doesnt disappoint. Its literally 60 years later and we're listening to a masterpiece. Over and over. He is the best of all time

I've been praying for this.

That harmonica is heart-breaking

I feel like his cadence is his own. His timing is (somewhat) all over the place but it still works and brings a tear to my eye. Bob Dylan is just excellent music.

This my fave version. Perfect in everyway 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍Lone Wolf :)

This and Blind Willie McTell... as perfect as perfect can be..

sublime perfection from the greatest songwriter that graced our lifetime

So glad the bootleg stuff is finally on YT.

Aaaaaaaaah! Quel bonheur! Enfin sur RU-vid!!! C'est sans doute une des plus belles performances vocales de Dylan... C'est d'une beauté totalement intemporelle... C'est rare à ce point....

Definitely my favorite recording of him, he perfectly modulates his voice, harmonica & guitar.

I discovered this beautiful song through the bootlegs recordings, thirty five years ago maybe, here, in France. I remember how I fell instantly in love with it. This song deals with human weakness and spirituality. Thank you Bob Dylan !

I’ve almost got this one down on guitar/vocals…my only difficulty at this point is figuring out how to make it all the way through the song without bawling my eyes out… 😭😭😭

Damn… Mind blowing… He was so good. Well polished.

In the middle of weary nights I come back over and over again to this record... seems like an alcoholic's hymn, or some kind of old dream. A eulogy for himself before his time.

Man I'm glad I've found this again. Been about 10 years looking for this song. Love you dylan

I onces listen to this song while in Brazil, at a horrible "Fabela".. full of horrible things noone should ever see or experience.. it was heartbreaking, but this song somehow, became a shelter

I like some of his stuff, but this just isn't as good as the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. (:

I recently learned that this song is what andy samberg would sing to his firstborn when she was a baby, and i have since been so devastatingly in my feels about it.

Bucking Frilliant!!My Fave Of All Your Magnum Drops Today:)Mr. Bob Dylan Deploys:)

This comes from an old irish folk song, "The wild rover"

This one goes nicely with "Copper Kettle" off 'Self Portrait'. I also like the 'Live at the Gaslight' version of this one. Real beautiful harmonica and those sorrowful lyrics. So gorgeous.

I love this song.

I found this song on the bootleg albums years ago while helping my friend move. As payment for my labor, he gave me them. Thank god!!! So many great songs.

Another example of a Dylan masterpiece!

The most beautiful song there is.

I wonder what Bob's thoughts are on the current state of our country? Why no songs at this volatile time in politics? I have a potential explanation; he is now a moderate Republican and does not want anyone to know?.

My grandfather James W favourite song was The Maid of the sweet brown knowe. Tommy cried every time he heard it and told me that. He'd say that was James' favourite song. X

Love that awesome voice!❤️

Benjamin Tod from the Lost Dog Street Band covers this in their “Magnolia Session” and it’s fantastic. Definitely worth a listen

Mr Poet! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mr Dylan uses the same words we use daily to different effect.

Thank God this got posted. I've been listening to that kid do his version (which is good) for f-ing years now

The only Song keepin up with this is Calexico s Version of Acapulco (written by dylan of course again)

Uncle Tupelo kills this song … check ‘em out

Masterpiece

nice quiet in spite of you

much more epic and gentle than his mid 60s surreal work .

I chose this song to listen to while watching a silent super 8 film of my mother as a child, playing on the beach. It was just a few weeks after she’d died, and I’d never seen the footage before. It’s been 6 years now, and her tiny, innocent face comes right back as soon as that first note hits. I sincerely think it’s Dylan’s best work.

And to think he was only 23. An astounding genius.

beautiful song thanks for this share ♥♥♥

Totally agree stunning

This song seems to really hit the spot deep down and reach the core of our essential

Wundervoll. Danke fürs hochladen ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Legendary musician Super Bob Dylan

The whisky don't kill me and I don't know what will

This is the most beautiful song you have ever written Bob, and the best I have ever heard you sing. Percy's Song is my second favourite...a wonderful echo of Two Sisters.

An absolutely fantastic song,but again it was just an out take. First time I heard this was on a BBC 2 ballet- weird sort of dancing thing and moonshiner was used . I had to find out what it was and it led to the bootleg series which was a golden find back then (1990s) - someone else must have seen the ballet type thing, somewhere!! Very odd but it gave me the bootleg with tangled up n idiot wind etc. Fantastic song and very atmospheric.

Dave Van Ronk recorded this around the same time.

seit ewigkeiten fan von bob dylan ...er bleibt immer in meinen herzen...love bobby

So good .Bruce has that same harmonica sting on Tom Joad ( I am homeless, I relate )

I grew up on Dylan. But bein born in 79 the bootleg series was the first dylan that was mine . My father and I heard this at the same time, and me at 12 was ready to be formed.

He just makes me wanna live to 100+❤

His performances are evocative 🎸🎶🎤

He.does this to perfection

Moonshiner another Bob Dylan song I didn't know. He sings with some passion! Larry Davies

Déchirant.

One of his best performances, I love this song. It is a cover but the singing, the passion, I'm so glad it is finally available here.

nice elston very nice

Great song, and i can relate.

How is he so good

I prefer dylans pulling Phrases of his voice over every opera singer that will exist or has existed

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you finally have the real version

This is a haunting tune
