Well now see, C. C. Rider,
 well now see, see what you have done.
 Well now see, C. C. Rider,
 well now see, see what you have done.
 Well you made me love you woman,
 Now your man [bad word] 

 So I'm going away now baby
 And I won't be back till fall,
 I'm going away now baby
 And I won't be back till fall,
 Just might find me a good girl
 Might not [bad word] back at all.

 Well now see, C. C. Rider,
 See now the moon is shining bright,
 Well now see, C. C. Rider,
 See now the moon is shining bright,
 Just might find me that good girl
 And everything would be alright.
