Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Well, my cotton is weevily and my sorghum's gone bad
My kinfolk have eat up what little I had
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Rotten potatoes and a dirty tote sack
Pain in my belly and a crink in my back
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
That the Lord should forget me, does bring my heart pain
I guess he's forgotten for to make it to rain
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
May the good Lord forgive me for the things I done wrong
My hound dog and me will be gone before long
And then we'll quit singing this lonesome old song
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Well, my cotton is weevily and my sorghum's gone bad
My kinfolk have eat up what little I had
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Rotten potatoes and a dirty tote sack
Pain in my belly and a crink in my back
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
That the Lord should forget me, does bring my heart pain
I guess he's forgotten for to make it to rain
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
May the good Lord forgive me for the things I done wrong
My hound dog and me will be gone before long
And then we'll quit singing this lonesome old song
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune
Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon
Hound dog, bay at the moon
