harry gordon - inversnecky moon lyrics

Loading...

over in america
the proudest proud can be
they’ve got a moon
they’ve got a moon

they’ve a moon in carolina
and a moon in tennessee
in every toun
in every toun

we’re as up to date, i’m tellin’ you
inversnecky’s got a lunar body too

inversnecky moon
inversnecky moon
whiles it’s goin’ up the sky
and whiles it’s comin’ doun

soft and lovely, radiant
o’er the toun it dissipates
and never costs a penny
to the inversnecky rains

yonder in the bluе
see it smilin’ through
i’d like to know what else
you would еxpect a thing to do
poor old grannie’s spoiled her knittin’
watchin’ inversnecky flittin’
neath the moon
neath the moon

i’m the man responsible
for all illumination
in the toun
in the toun

there’s a gas lamp in the public square
and a caunle at the station
and the moon
besides the moon

i prefer the moon withoot a dout
d’ye see, i hivna got to rise and pit it oot
all i know…

but the worst of the moon is, ye see, ye can never depend on it, especially if you’ve been lookin’ upon the wyne when it was black and white. i cam oot o the inversnecky arms the ither nicht, i was feelin’ slightly sober kin’, and i looked up at the sky, and i’m blessed if i could’ve told you whether it was the moon or the headlights o an aeroplane that i was lookin’ at. i had to ask the first man i met if it really was the moon. he said, “a’m sorry, a coudna tell ye, a’m a stranger here masel.” i hear they’re puttin’ electricity in the village. i don’t know if it’s true or not, but the rumour’s current. anyhow, it will never beat the…

inversnecky moon
inversnecky moon
whiles it’s goin’ up the sky
and whiles it’s comin’ doun
with great impartiality
the moon illuminates
the magistrates upon the bench
the cats upon the slates

aye up in the sky
see it sailin’ by
they say the moon is made o cheese
no wonder it is high

by the time they close the inns
it has turned into twins
has the moon
has the moon
