Moon Going Down Lyrics

Moon Going Down - Charlie Patton

Written by:Charlie Patton

Aw that moon has gone down baby

 

North Star about to shine

 

Aw the moon going down baby

 

North Star about to shine

 

Rosetta Henry told me

Lord I don't want you hanging round

 

Oh well where were you now baby

 

Clarksdale mill burned down

 

Oh well where were you now babe

 

Clarksdale mill burned down

 

Boy you know where I were

 

I were way down Sunflower with my face all full a frowns

 

There is a house over yonder painted all over green

 

There is a house over yonder painted all over green

 

Boy you know I know it's over there

 

Some of the finest young women

Lord a man most ever seen

 

Lord I think I heard the Helena whistle

 

Helena whistle Helena whistle blow

 

Lord I think I heard the Helena whistle blow

 

Well I hear it blowing now

 

Lord I ain't gonna stop walking till 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 till 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 afraid she's getting on board
