I see a bad moon a rising I see trouble on the way I see earth quakes and lightnin' I see bad times today Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise I hear hurricanes a blowin' I know the end is comin' soon I feel rivers over flowin' I hear the voice of rage and ruin Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise Hope you got your things together Hope you are quite prepared to die Looks like we're in for nasty weather One eye is takin for an eye Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise From Emmylou Harris "Evangeline" Warner Brothers Records 1981 BMI Jondora Music
