The moon is rising,
and the sun is sinking low
Yes, the moon is rising, babe,
and the sun is sinking low
No, I can't find my woman,
Lord,
I wonder where did she go?
You can talk about my baby,
say just what you please,
but I want you to know,
yes, she's all right with me,
cause she's my baby.
Lord, and I don't care what
you say.
Yes, she'll
Be my baby, Lord,
until my dying day
Ain't the gravy good?
Yes, do you remember, baby,
when you lay down across my bed?
Were you too intoxicated?
Do you re member what you said?
You said, I love you.
Oh, was you telling
me a lie?
If you didn't mean
what you were saying, baby,
So long, so long, goodbye.
Every time I see a woman,
yes, it makes me think of mine,
Every time I
see a woman,
yes, it makes me think of mine,
She's brown -skinned, good -lookin' and bow -legged,
guess what, yes, and she sticks way out behind.
