Crying to the Moon Lyrics

There is no bond quite so sound as a master and his hound

And by his side I'd always stay whenever he would court his maid

On the first warm day we had that Spring he took his love a ring

But as we turned into the farm we found her in another's arms

In the woods after dark

If you hear a mournful bark

That's just me, crying to the moon

A-ooo, a-ooo

I saw the tears fall from his eyes and felt his anger rise

They both fought hard but not for long 'til soon my master's life was gone

Never thought to hurt a man before I found his neck between my jaws

He took the one I loved away now he'll not live another day

In the woods after dark

If you hear a mournful bark

That's just me, crying to the moon

A-ooo, a-ooo

But most of all it broke my heart when his sweet love fell apart

With trembling hands she took the knife and with it she cut short her life

In the woods after dark

If you hear a mournful bark

That's just me, crying to the moon

A-ooo, a-ooo
