A mountain style tragic ballad - Sung by Barry's wife, Julie Waters
Lyrics
Yellow moon...
Stop your shinin'
Yellow moon...
Why do you care?
Won't you leave me
In the darkness
Let me hide from my despair?
Yellow moon...
stop your laughin'
turn away that wry old stare
When the lawmen
Came a-lookin’
I thought they’d take him
Clean and fair
They said they'd take him
Clean and fair
(Chorus)
Will you be my only witness
as you hang there in the sky?
Now my love is taken from me,
won't you leave me here to die
Yellow moon...
Over Big Black mountain
Like a lamp you shine on me
Over there...
Is where I saw him
My fair love
Hangin' from a tree.
(Chorus)
Will you be my only witness
as you hang there in the sky?
Now my love is taken from me,
won't you leave me here to die
Yellow moon...
There’s no denyin’
I know I should’ve lied that day
But my love
Said he was a-leavin’
And I’d do anything to make him stay
I swore, I'd make him stay
(Chorus)
Will you be my only witness
as you hang there in the sky?
Now my love is taken from me,
won't you leave me here to die
Will you be my judge and jury
As you hang there in the sky?
Now my love is taken from me,
won't you leave me here to die.
