Charley Patton, Willie Brown - Moon Going Down lyrics
[Charley Patton, Willie Brown - Moon Going Down lyrics]
Sun's about to shine
Ah, the moon is going down baby
Sun's about to shine rosetta Henry told me
"Lord I don't want you hangin' round"
Oh well where were you now baby
Clarkdale mill burned down?
Oh well where were you now babe
Clarkdale mill burned down?
(Boy you know where I was)
I was way down'n Sunflower with my
Face all full of frown
There's a house over yonder
Painted all over green
There's a house over yonder
Painted all over green
(Boy you know I know it's over there)
Lord the finest young women Lord
A man most ever seen
Lord I think I heard that
Taylor whistle, Taylor whistle
Taylor whistle blow
Lord I think I heard that Taylor whistle
(Well now I hear it blowin')
Lord I ain't gonna stop walkin' 'til
I get in my rider's door
Lord the smokestack is black and the bell
It shine like, bell it shine like
Bell it shines like gold
Oh the smokestack is black and the
Bell it shine like gold
(Cover me boy, you know it looks good to me)
Lord I ain't gonna walk there, ah
Babe ain't 'round no more
Ah I evil was at midnight
'til I heard the local blow
I was evil out at night
When I heard the local blow
(Boy it give me the blues)
I got to see my rider
'fraid she's gettin' on board
