Mr. Moon

Lyrics

Mr. Moon, he's a powerful man

Pull the ocean upon the land

Make men tell their women lies

When he comes over the rise

I was strolling through the town

Big old moon was a-smiling down

I had a bottle in my hand

Oh, that night was a-looking so grand

I ran into this girl I know

And we talked both soft and low

Then we went out for a ride

My blood was surging like the tide

Mr. Moon, he's a powerful man

He pull the ocean upon the land

And makes men tell their women lies

When he comes over the rise

Now it's late and she has to go

She said "Be there," and I say, "Well I show"

Tomorrow's sun shine upon the world

And I forget my little girl

Mr. Moon, he's a powerful man

Pull the ocean upon the land

Makes men tell their women lies

When he comes over the rise

Mr. Moon

Mr. Moon

Mr. Moon
