Oh, yellow moon, yellow moon
Why you keep peeping in my window?
Do you know something
Do you know something that I don't know?

Did you see my baby
Walking down the railroad tracks?
You can tell me, oh, if the girls [bad word] back

Is she hid out with another
Or is she trying to get back home?
Is she wrapped up in some other's arms?
Or is the girl somewhere all alone?

Can you see if she is missing me
Or is she having a real good time?
Has she forgotten all about me
Or is the girl still mine all mine?

With your eye so big a shiny
You can see the whole [bad word] land
Yellow moon, can you tell me
If the girl's with another man, man?

Oh, yellow moon, yellow moon, yellow moon
Have you seen that creole woman
You can tell me
Oh, now ain't you a friend of mine

With your eye so big a shiny
You can see the whole [bad word] land
Yellow moon, can you tell me
If the girl's with another man, man?
