I see a bad moon a'risin'
I see trouble on the way
I see varied quakes and lightnin'
I see a bad time today

Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricane's a'blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I hear rivers over flowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye.

Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Don't go around tonight
'cos it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
