Intro Refrain:
As I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Stanzas 1 & 2:
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, away . . . . . . . . . . . I won't have to work
no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colors all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, away . . . . . . . . . . . I won't have to cry
no more.
Refrain:
Yes, I'm bein’ followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Oh if I ever lose my legs, away . . . . . . . . . . . . I won't have to

And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, away . . . . . . . . . . . . I won't have to
talk.
