Ring Around the Moon
We don't know when we came; you know it's been so long
Everything is the same; so let's do one more song
Ring around the moon; long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune; please don't go away

You be the mandolin; I'll be the steel guitar
You dance out and in; I'll cry up so far
Long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune; please don't go away

Everybody's been alone, been to the parade
Tryin' to find the bones of this masquerade
And there's a ring around the moon; long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune; please don't go away

Love she always passes lightly and away
Like a lioness gets restless when she comes to stay
And there's a ring around the moon; long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune; please don't go away

Pickin' on the strings, tapping of your feet
Well, these are age-old things, but who can say how sweet
When there's a ring around the moon; long, long time 'til day
Play me one more tune; please don't go away
