Ballad of the Moonlight Lady

Sunday mornin’ and the sky is grey
No use layin’ around in bed all day
I’m steppin’ down to the hotel bar
Here I go and there you are

Moonlight Lady been around a spell
Pushin’ fifty but you’d never tell
Sippin’ whiskey with a wounded heart
There she goes and here we are

Cold and lonely without a one and only
We don’t know what to do
Love’s a gamble careful where you ramble
In your hotel room

My name is Mary and I’m glad you asked
I see no reason not to raise a glass
I lost my Johnny when he went to war
But there I go and here you are

Cold and lonely without a one and only
We don’t know what to do
Love’s a gamble careful where you ramble
In your hotel room

I’m outta money and in need of love
Milk and honey from the moon above
They say we’ll make it to the planet Mars
There they go and here we are
