Yellow moon, yellow moon,
why you keep peeping in my window?
Do you know something I don't know?
Did you see my baby
walking down the railroad tracks?
You can tell me if the girls
ever coming back.
Is she hid out with another
or is she tɾying to [C7]get back home?
Is she wrapped up in some other's arms?
Or is the girl somewhere all [Em]alone?
Can you [A7see if she is missing me,
or is she having a ɾeal good time?
Has she forgotten all [Em]about,
or is the girl still mine all [Em]mine?
With your eye so big a shiney
You can see the whole damn land
Yellow moon [C7]can you [A7tell me
If the girl's with another man?
Refrain:
Oh yellow moon,
have you [A7seen that creole woman
You can tell me,
Now ain't you [A7a friend of mine.
