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
