Shinin’ Moon Lyrics by Lightnin’ Hopkins

King Of Dowling Street

0

[Verse 1]
The moon look pretty
Shinin' down through the tree
Don't the shinin' moon look pretty?
Shinin' down through the tree
You know I can see my baby
Lord, Lord, Lord
When she don't see me

[Verse 2]
You know I tiptoed to the window
Just to see how sweet she snore
I tiptoed to that woman window
Just to see how sweet she snore
You know that she made me feel like jumpin'
Lord, Lord, through that
Keyhole in her door

[Bridge]
Yes, yes

[Verse 3]
You know the shinin' moon looks pretty
Every night 'bout the break of day
You know the shinin' moon sure looks pretty
Every night 'bout the break of day
You know the home is so happy
When your baby gone away
