Oh, i'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moon shadow, moonshadow—
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow—
Verse 1:
And if i ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if i ever lose my hands, oh if i won't have to work no more.
Verse 2:
And if i ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if i ever lose my eyes, oh if i won't have to cry no more.

Verse 3:
And if i ever lose my legs, i won't moan, and i won't beg,
Yes if i ever lose my legs, oh if i won't have to walk no more.
Verse 4:
And if i ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if i ever lose my mouth, oh if i won't have to talk…
Bridge:
Did it take long to find me? i asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? and are you gonna stay the night?
Refrain
Moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.
