Hound Dog

Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lift up your long, skinny head
Bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon

God did forsake us, and it gives me much pain
Now he's forgotten how to make it to rain
Hound dog, bay at the moon

My well's gone dry, chickens won't lay
Fish, they stopped bitin' last Saturday
Hound dog, bay at the moon

Lift up your long head, bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon

Cornbread's gone with the light, sorghum gone bad
Kinfolks tonight, what little I had
Hound dog, bay at the moon

A rotten potato and an old croaker sack
Hurtin' my back, hurtin' my back
Hound dog, bay at the moon

Lift up your long head, bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
