I was shakin in my shoes

 the day I heard the news

 said the deal has been done

  c#min c#min

the moon just bought out the sun

 I'd heard of the deal

  c#min

but never thought it was real

 said if the sun don't shine

c#min G# c#min

if you wanna live there ain't no use in tryin

 Now the preachers were a prayin

  c#min

and the old farmers kept sayin

 if tomorrow the sun don't rise

c#min G# c#min

I'm afraid I won't open my eyes

 so the people gathered round

  c#min

and nobody made a sound

 said if the rooster refuses to crow

c#min G# c#min

the fields will cease to grow

 there eyes stared to the sky

  c#min

and noone could cry

 said there is no more doubt

c#min G# c#min

as they watched the sun slowly burn out

 now the drunkards loosened a buckle

  c#min

and the wise men began to chuckle

 said if the sun don't come back soon

c#min G# c#min

we'll never see the moon

 now the moon realized his mistake

  c#min

and grew red in the face

 said my lesson has been learned

c#min G# c#min

when you don't think you're bound to get burned
