Hey ol’ nightwind it’s good to hear from you again
You say you’re only just passing through
You know what to say if you’re blowing that way
I’d be so much obliged to you

Go tell my baby that I am happy
And that I never am coming home
Make up some reason I had to leave him
The only true love I’ve ever known

Hey moonlight you know I missed you last night
Those storm clouds don’t know my pain
Or maybe I’ll find it’s that we’re two of a kind
Wherever we go we just bring rain

Go tell my baby that I am happy
And that I never am coming home
Make up some reason I had to leave him
The only true love I’ve ever known
God knows I’m dying, he knows I’m crying
He could be happy with someone new
Make up some reason I had to leave him
The only true love I’ve ever known
The only true love I’ve ever known
