Quarter Moon Lyrics

VERSE:
When everything you own
Will fit in a paper sack
And no one notice you leavin'
Nobody ask you when you comin' back
VERSE:
You live in a rented room
Your money run out too soon
You've pawned all your hopes
Bummed all your smokes
And you leave by the quarter moon
CHORUS:
Quarter moon better than none
When you travel the night road
Quarter moon better than none
When you carry a light load
VERSE:
And every bowery bum
You know was somebody's mothers son
He never mean to hurt nobody
Just a-drinkin' to have his fun
VERSE:
Drinkin' away the good times
Drinkin' away the bad
And nobody know where a poor man go
When he lose everything that he had
CHORUS:
Quarter moon better than none
When you travel the night road
Quarter moon better than none
When you carry a light load
BREAK:
Every man in the mission tonight
Is dreamin' whiskey shadows
Where heaven is lined with bottles of wine
And deep sparkling meadooooooows
VERSE:
When everything you own
Will fit in a paper sack
No one notice you leavin'
Nobody ask you when you comin' back baby
VERSE:
You live in a rented room
Your money run out too soon
You've pawned all your hopes
Bummed all your smokes
And you leave by the quarter moon
CHORUS:
Quarter moon better than none
When you travel the night road
Quarter moon better than none
When you carry a light load
OUTRO:
Quarter moon better than none
Quarter moon better than nooooooone
Quarter moon better than none
When you travel the night road
