Bay Moon 02:36
Bay moon shine on me I'm afraid my love won't see How alone and bound for home I'll be Bay moon shine on me My love was on the floor and I Was on the evening train Out on the shore my eyes could see no pain I wanted for to find my love Home waiting there for me But another's arms had stole my love from me Oh bay moon shine on me Bay moon shine on me I'm afraid my love won't see The weight and toil she lays on me Bay moon shine on me I wanted for to find my love Home waiting there for me But another's arms had stole my love from me I went alone and cried all night Out on the raging sea And drowned my eyes until my love won't see Oh bay moon shine on my Bay moon shine on me Bay moon shine on me

I'm alone, I am lonely I've got friends, to ease my pain But the woman, I love has left me And I don't think, I can stay out Of this rain I'm afraid, of the devil He has come, to ease my pain But he runs through, and hurts my body And I don't think, I can stay out Of this rain Hold on my doom I'll come to you Blood fills my room I'm a fool, sad and lonely I just sealed my own dark cave But I was hurting and I was angry And I don't think, I can stay out Of this rain No I don't think, I can stay out Of this rain No I don't think, I can stay out Of this rain

I've been down by love so long my heart don't try I've been down by love so long my heart don't try If you’ve seen my love, my love you would know why I've been down by love so long my heart don't try I've got pins in my knees Ever since she left me I've been cold hard drowned by love a thousand times I've been cold hard drowned by love a thousand times Kicked in, dragged and bound by love on down the line I've been cold hard drowned by love a thousand times I've got pins in my knees Ever since she left me I don't look, I don't pray I ain’t cared since that day I've known love, I've known pain Both I see, end the same I don't look, I don't pray I ain’t cared since that day I've been down by love so long my heart don't try I've been down by love so long my heart don't try

Oh my sweet darlin' Where'd you run to And where'd you put your dress You know the one dear I had made for you You're the one that I love the best I met your mama, I met your pa I met your maker down the hall They all went through you and let me in They won't make that mistake again Oh my sweet darlin' Where'd you run to And where'd you put your dress You know the one dear I had made for you You're the one that I love the best You broke the lock on your bedroom door Where you got out of the time before While I was sleeping you meant to leave But I won't let you live without me I didn't mean love, to hurt you there Or tear your new dress and pull your hair But you wouldn't listen and you ran in sin Now you won't leave me ever again No you won't leave me, never again Oh my sweet darlin' Where'd you run to And where'd you put your dress You know the one dear I had made for you You're the one that I love the best You're the one that I love the best You're the one that I love the best

I don't even want to think of you Don't want to sleep 'cause I might dream of you You gave your lovin' that's for me to do So I don't even want to think of you You took my heart, and you pulled it on the floor with you It fell apart, so you left for someone new I don't even want to think of you Don't want to sleep 'cause I might dream of you You gave your lovin' that's for me to do So I don't even want to think of you You put my heart on the rails beneath your speeding train And in the dark you left me cryin' in the rain So I don't even want to think of you Don't want to sleep 'cause I might dream of you You gave your lovin' that's for me to do So I don't even want to think of you I don't even want to think of you Don't want to sleep 'cause I might dream of you You gave your lovin' that's for me to do So I don't even want to think of you

I see your lips talk to another And my heart starts caving in Evil winds they blow your kisses Away from me and on to him This could be the last time You'll ever see my face And I'm not bound to meet you In heaven's lonesome space So when you're there With your new love And you take him by the head And you pull his love inside you Think of me and I'll be dead This could be the last time You'll ever see my face And I'm not bound to meet you In heaven's lonesome space So when you're there With your new love And he takes you by the head And you taste his love inside you Think of me and I'll be dead Just think of me 'cause I'll be dead

I can't handle knowing you are lovin' someone else I would rather murder you than live here with myself I ain’t never felt so cold or broken up in two Your love cut a hole in me and now I'm fallin' through Love's fallen down Love's fallen down Love's fallen down If you were true, I wouldn't have laid a hand on you Mornin' came in like a train and pulled me from my bed I was dreamin' you were here and lovin' me instead I thought when you married me your heart would be true But your love cut a hole in me and now I'm fallin' through (You shouldn't have run from me but...) Love's fallen down Love's fallen down Blood is on the ground If you were true, I wouldn't have laid a hand on you If you were true, and you didn't do...I wouldn't have laid a hand on you
8.
Baby you know it's true I was all in love with you But you did things you said weren't true And I will always stay in love with you Baby don't leave so soon I'm your old time lonesome moon And you alone can seal my tomb But I will always stay in love with you Time is all I ever did with you And idle eyes will only make you feel the way I do So baby don't be untrue I don't know what I would do You say you're layin' with someone new But I will always stay in love with you And I will always stay in love with you Yeah I will always stay in love with you

Long gone home why did you stray on me I'm as sad and alone as the whole human scene I was drivin' on a line I was hopin' for a friend to find But my memories fell behind A hole in the wall I was ridin' on a train I was sleepin' to the sound of rain When I woke up with the same Feelin' of fall, and no one at all Long gone home why did you stray on me I was runnin' for the door Where my old love used to lie on the floor But my head fell just before I made it at all And lord knows I was true But now I've lost you too And I can't go to bed now without missing home And feeling alone Long gone home why did you stray on me I'm as sad and alone as the whole human scene I'm as sad and alone as the whole human scene I'm as sad and alone as the whole human scene

And along comes a bomb That blows your head on And you're never as good as you wanted to be But she don't know nothin' about where I've been And I couldn't take it to break her again The harder the fallin's the weight of your sins So I'm on the road here with me And the road that you're on is long And the feeling still lingers And you're never as good as you wanted to be But she don't know nothin' about where I've been And I couldn't take it to break her again The harder the fallin's the weight of your sins So I'm on the road here with me And along comes a bomb That blows your head on And you're never as good as you wanted to be But she don't know nothin' about where I've been And I couldn't take it to break her again The harder the fallin's the weight of your sins So I'm on the road here with me She don't know nothin' about where I've been And I couldn't take it to break her again The harder the fallin's the weight of your sins So I'm all alone here with me
