New Moon Shine Lyrics
Lyrics

Title
- Even the old folks never knew
- Why they call it like they do
- I was wondering since the age of two
- Down on Copperline
- Copper head, copper beech
- Copper kettles sitting side by each
- Copper coil, cup o'Georgia peach
- Down on Copperline
- Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
- Leaning heavy on the end of the week
- Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
- Down on Copperline
- We were down on Copperline
- One Summer night on the Copperline
- Slip away past supper time
- Wood smoke and moonshine
- Down on Copperline
- One time I saw my daddy dance
- Watched him moving like a man in a trance
- He brought it back from the war in France
- Down onto Copperline
- Branch water and tomato wine
- Creosote and turpentine
- Sour mash and new moon shine
- Down on Copperline
- Down on Copperline
- First kiss ever I took
- Like a page from a romance book
- The sky opened and the earth shook
- Down on Copperline
- Down on Copperline
- Took a fall from a windy height
- I only knew how to hold on tight
- And pray for love enough to last all night
- Down on Copperline
- Day breaks and the boys wakes up
- And the dog barks and the birds sings
- And the sap rises and the angels sigh, yeah
- I tried to go back, as if I could
- All spec house and plywood
- Tore up and tore up good
- Down on Copperline
- It doesn't come as a surprise to me
- It doesn't touch my memory
- Man I'm lifting up and rising free
- Down on over Copperline
- Half a mile down to Morgan Creek
- I'm only living for the end of the week
- Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
- Down on Copperline, yeah
- Take me down on Copperline
- Oh, down on Copperline
- Take me down on Copperline
- Watch your head on that root
- Got to let your eyes adjust
- I'm sorry about your suit
- Can't do nothing about the dust
- Welcome down underground
- Hunker down a spell
- Gets to feel like home to me
- Though I know it looks like hell
- (Chorus)
- Down in the hole
- Lord, it's deep and the sides are steep
- And the nights are long and cold
- Down in the hole
- Light and love and the world above
- Mean nothing to the mole
- (Don't mean nothing to the mole)
- Never gets real hot down here
- Fifty five degrees
- It's always a little bit damp, I fear
- But I've never seem to freeze
- Mushrooms and earthworms
- Fancy stuff to eat
- A world of quiet comtemplation (Oh, yes)
- Just below the street
- - Chorus -
- I'm in a hole
- Since I lost my baby
- Living in a hole
- Since I lost my girl
- Would you play in the moonlight
- Woul you dance in the dirt
- Come home way past daybreak
- Cockleburs all stuck in your shirt
- Come back home to twilight
- Come back home to me
- Subterranean river you are
- Meets the molten sea
- - Chorus -
- I like to think about the time I met you
- Living with your people down in New Orleans
- Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you
- Ride in no nasty limousine
- Later on the levee with the moon up above
- I lost my heart and confessed my love
- Oh Lucy, God have mercy
- I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that
- One Summer night in a field of wheat
- God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky
- Moving light on your tiny feet
- I knew I had to love you till the day I die
- They talk about Amazing Grace
- It meant something when I saw your face
- Oh Lucy, God have mercy
- I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that
- I think of all the little things that I never told you
- I think I may get to hold you someday
- It's my brain just like a man possessed
- I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest
- I can't understand it baby
- Don't like to think about the way it ended
- I hate remembering the things that I said
- I dream a dream of love so splendid
- I wake up hard in an empty bed
- I wonder who'll be loving you next
- Some fool will be writing bad checks
- Oh now Lucy, God have mercy
- I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you
- Like everyone she knows
- She's holding out for truelove
- Waiting on an answer
- Ready for a change
- And everywhere she goes
- She's just a little bit on the lookout
- A day might mean tomorrow
- Questions still remain
- It's not that she's so sad
- She always was a happy soul
- But lately she gets to wonder to herself
- What's the good of going on anymore
- I see her in her room
- Sitting at the window
- Wondering if she's pretty
- Feeling just a little small tonight
- She thinks of going home
- Giving up on the city
- Maybe moving back down to Mobile
- It's not that far to fall
- I know she won't see me
- But I might just say anyhow
- If I could be right there right now
- As I myself was told
- Hold tight to your heart's desire
- Never ever let it go
- Let nobody fool you into giving it up too soon
- Tend your own fire
- Lay low and be strong
- Wait awhile
- Wait it out
- Wait it on out
- Wait it out
- It'll come along
- I know she won't see me
- But I might just say anyhow
- If I could be right there right now
- As I myself was told
- Hold tight to your heart's desire
- Never ever let it go
- Let nobody fool you into giving it up too soon
- Tend your own fire
- Lay low and be strong
- Wait it out
- Wait it out
- Wait it on out
- Wait it out
- Let it come along
- Oh, wait awhile
- Wait awhile
- (Cooke)
- Took my baby to the hop last night, what to my surprise,
- when we got there she hit me with the news right between the eyes-
- she said she couldn't do the cha, cha, cha.
- I told her not to worry now, they'd play some other dance,
- but we sat there for an hour and a half and we never got a chance
- cause every song they played was the cha, cha, cha.
- I told her not to worry, there's still one thing we can do,
- let me take you by your hand tonight, I want to teach this dance to you.
- I taught my baby how to cha, cha, cha.
- We kept on dancing for an hour or two, what do you think I'd see?
- We hadn't practiced for a time or two around, she was doing it better than me.
- You know my baby loves to cha, cha, cha.
- Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha. Little children love to cha, cha, cha.
- Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha. Sam Cooke himself in the midnight hour.
- Everybody loves to cha, cha, cha.
- Mount up, move on
- May you find the way back home
- Down and down we go
- Down into bright October
- Brothers in arms no more
- Now that the war is over
- Have you waded in and been to hell
- Will you lie upon the sofa
- see to the decoration of your shell
- Now that the war is over
- Mount up, move on
- Damn the darkness, speed the dawn
- They lost, we won
- Try to find your way back home
- Native son
- Down and down we go
- Now that the war is over
- Brothers in arms no more
- Now that the war is over
- Have you waded in and been to hell
- Will you lie upon the sofa
- see to the decoration of your shell
- Now that the war is over
- Mount up, move on
- Damn the darkness, speed the dawn
- They lost, we won
- May you find your way back home
- Native son
- I'm not much for making little wishes, but I'd like a little wish to come true for you.
- I'm not talking about loaves and fishes but I wish that there was something I could do for you.
- Here's a little bit of cheap advice to be taken in an hour of need,
- don't assume that the life you left is the life you have to lead.
- When you come home, what you gonna do oh brother, oh brother.
- Don't you try to deny what you know to be true,
- the same mess of misery that you done been through,
- standing in line and it's waiting for you.
- One kiss leads to another, brother, when you come back home.
- I'd like to know who's knocking on door, I'd like to know what they come here for.
- You'd like to say no but the words won't come,
- come in and sit down, seem to roll off your tongue.
- You forget to remember, to never die young, one kiss leads to another.
- Brother when you come back home, standing in line, all of your friends,
- standing in line, party never ends, standing in line, the river flows, the river bends,
- standing in line, all of your friends.
- When you come home, what you gonna do oh brother, oh brother.
- Don't you try to deny what you know to be true,
- the same mess of misery that you done been through,
- standing in line and it's waiting for you.
- One kiss leads to another, brother, when you come back home.
- And that moon will be shining in the trees all night long, something bound to happen for sure.
- Soon you'll be stopping by talking to a friend again, swear you ain't never tasted nothing so pure.
- When you come home, what you gonna do oh brother, oh brother.
- Don't you try to deny what you know to be true,
- the same mess of misery that you done been through,
- standing in line and it's waiting for you.
- One kiss leads to another, brother, when you come back home.
- When you come home, your friends are dropping by,
- when you come home, the moon is gonna shine.
- When you come home, I tell you no lie, when you come home, they're gonna offer you a line.
- Standing in line, all of your friends, standing in line, party never ends now.
- Standing in line, the river flows, the river bends, standing in line, all your so called friends.
- Standing in line, when you come home, standing in line, oh brother, oh brother now.
- Standing in line, when you come home, standing in line, what you're gonna do now?
