I see the bad moon a-risin'I see trouble on the wayI see earthquakes and lightnin'I see bad times today

Don't go around tonightWell it's bound to take your lifeThere's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowin'I know the end is comin' soonI fear rivers over flowin'I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don't go around tonightWell it's bound to take your lifeThere's a bad moon on the rise, alright

Hope you got your things togetherHope you are quite prepared to dieLooks like we're in for nasty weatherOne eye is taken for an eye

Well don't go around tonightWell it's bound to take your lifeThere's a bad moon on the rise

Don't come around tonightWell it's bound to take your lifeThere's a bad moon on the rise
