Coon On The Moon - Howlin' Wolf

When I all grown out a little boy

Stayed way down south

Had to wear second handed clothes

Live out back a the big house

Things have changed

Yes we on the moon now

They wouldn't let us play together

Now we could go to no city school now

We used to pick the cotton

Till we got too old

Tell me who was the first man

Ta go to the North Pole

Things have changed

Yes we on the moon now

We used to wear boots every day

Now we wearin' bran' new shoes

We plowed the mule

That lived out back a the hut

Tell me who was the first man

Made butter out of a peanut

Things have changed

Ooh we on the moon now

They used to wouldn't let us play together

Now we can go to most any school now

You know they call us coon

Say we didn't have no sense

You gon' wake up one mornin'

An the ol' coon will be your president

Things have changed

Ooh we on the moon now

You gon' wake up one mornin'

An' it'll be a coon a settin' on the moon
