The tune of the Star-Spangled Banner is an from an old drinking song, "Anacreon on Heaven" which appears to be related to The Moonshiner.
You can sing the words of the Star-Spangled Banner to the tune of the Moonshiner, and vice versa.
another verse of it goes:
It's corn bread when I'm hungry, corn liquor when I'm dry
Work when I'm hard up, and religion when I die
For the world's but a bottle, and life's but a dram
And when the bottle is empty, it ain't worth a damn.
A couple of alternate lines:
God bless pretty women, I wish they were mine
But I love none so well as I love my moonshine.
