Oh, I'm bein'followed by a moo n shado w,
moon shadow, m oon shad ow,
Leaping and hopping on a m oon shad ow,
moon shadow, m oon shad ow.
And i f I e ver lo se my h ands, lose my ploug h, lose my land,
Oh if I e ver lo se my ha nds, oh if
I won't have to w ork no mo re.
And if I e ver lo se my ey es, if m y color s, all run dry,
Yes i f I e ver l ose my ey es, oh if
I won't have to cr y no m ore.
And if I ev er los e my leg s, I won 't moan and I won't b eg,
Oh if I ev er lo se my leg s, oh if
I won't have to w alk no m ore.
And if I ever lose m y mouth, al l my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I eve r lose my mouth, oh if
I wo n't have to talk.
Did it take long to find me ? I ask ed the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me ? An d are you gonna stay the night ?
Refrain
moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow, moon s hadow.
