Lyrics:

Hound dog, bay at the moon. 
Lift up your long head and bay at the moon. 
Hound dog, bay at the moon. 

My crops are all ruined and my taters have rot. 
No corn in the bin and no beans in the pot. 
Hound dog, bay at the moon. 

Got holes in my socks just as big as a barn 
Can't sew them up 'cause the dern things won't darn 
Hound dog, bay at the moon. 

That the Lord should forget me, it brings my heart pain 
I guess he's forgotten how to make it to rain, 
Hound dog, bay at the moon
