They's a blood moon a rising on the horizon
I hear those coyote calls a whining
There's a blood moon a rising the night sky is blinding
That lunar siren song is mesmerizing
Oh beautiful, you come to take my soul
Saw a Gypsy woman, at the local coven
She read my spread, and told me my fortune
Saw a gypsy woman, from the local coven
She warned of dark days a comin'
Oh beautiful, you come to save my soul
A crow was crying, "Smokestack Lightning"
Perched upon my chimney
A crow was crying, "Smokestack Lighting"
Didn't sound like Howlin' Wolf to me
Oh beautiful, you come to save my soul
There's a rapping at the back door I open it up for
That fallen angel who gave me these blues
Rapping on my back door, I open it up for
That devilish woman come to collect her dues
Oh beautiful, you come to take my soul
They's a blood moon a rising on the horizon
I hear those coyote calls a whining
