Raise the Moon Songtext
von The .357 String Band

He look right up and gimme some room
Devil got away on a broken broom
He rose right up out of the ground
Pulled out a sickle and he sat me down
He said, "Little boy, better listen to me
Gonna hang a lady by the broken tree
That Gypsy lady across the town
She got nuts and stole my crown"


Devil he said, "Listen here, son
You and me′s gonna have some fun
You think that woman's good and sweet
Sit on down and listen to me
I don′t got too much more advice
Love that woman you better think twice
Swing her up and swing her down
Swing her round and round this town"

Gonna have a party, gonna raise the moon
We all know that he's comin' soon
Gonna have a party, gonna raise the moon
We all know that he′s comin′ soon
Gonna have a party, gonna raise the moon
We all know that he's comin′ soon
Gonna have a party, gonna raise the moon
We all know that he's comin′ soon

Gonna have a party, gonna raise the moon
We all know that he's comin′ soon
We all know that he's comin' soon
We all know that he′s comin′ soon
We all know that he's comin′ soon
