The Moon Is Rising

Mathis James "Jimmy" Reed (September 6, 1925 – August 29, 1976) was an American blues musician and songwriter, notable for bringing his distinctive style of blues to mainstream audiences. Reed was a major player in the field of electric blues, as opposed to the more acoustic-based sound of many of his contemporaries. His lazy, slack-jawed singing, piercing harmonica and hypnotic guitar patterns were one of the blues' most easily identifiable sounds in the 1950s and 1960s, and had a significant impact on many rock and roll artists who followed, such as Elvis Presley, Billy Gibbons and the Rolling Stones. more »

The moon is risin'
This time goin' down
I feel kinda lonesome
My babe not around

You know that I need ya
Ya can't be found
Been lookin' for ya baby
All over town

Ya went away and left me
All alone
It wasn't you darlin'
But it was me, was wrong

Don't tell me where ya goin'
Tell me where ya been
Ain't had no lovin'
Since you, you done went and left me
