Dead moon tonight I saw his black tongue And it was salamander-shaped. Oh, it moved like a nightcrawler And I was struck, Was overcome, boys and girls. I had never seen The likes of it, binoculars I need it farther I turned them back Once I did then I saw How the most lonesome crow does not call Where did I go Where did I go Where did I go wrong? I don't even know I don't even know What I lost and now it's gone What I lost and now it's gone Where did I go Where did I go Where did I go wrong? I don't even know I don't even know What I lost and now it's gone What I lost and now it's gone Gone, gone Gone like the highway crow When the cars come, the cars come Dead moon tonight I slid under his thumb, And he, he called me whistle bait It hurt me I hollered till the trees shook birds From the branches there, boys and girls I had never seen Such a lot of them ever before Blocking the starlight Darker than dark, it was And I cried for the loss When one bird doesn't turn, does the flock? Where did I go Where did I go Where did I go wrong? I don't even know I don't even know What I lost and now it's gone What I lost and now it's gone Where did I go Where did I go Where did I go wrong? I don't even know I don't even know What I lost and now it's gone What I lost and now it's gone Gone, gone Gone like the highway crow When the cars come, the cars come
