 Caught in the middle of a moonbeam

 A flicker of light

 I took a look and then it run away

 Back on into the night, oh.

 Stopped, stopped in the tickin^? of my heartbeat

 A look in his eye

 Had the hunger of a mountain lion

 And the thunder in fire

 And every time he appears it comes as a surprise

 He thinks he^?s clever as foxfire

 Dancin^? on a distant rise

 Then when I catch that devil, ooh

 There^?s gonna be a slow-down; There^?s gonna be a mighty slow-down.

 Caught in the embers of my night fire

 In the cracklin^? and glow

 I get to feeling he^?s a-watching me

 Somewhere there in the cold

 And one of these days I^?m thinking I^?ll take him by surprise

 He^?s not so clever as foxfire, dancing on the distant rise

 And when I catch that devil, ooh.
