Blue Moon
Once in a blue moon
The stars align my way
It always starts out looking
Like it’s going to be my day
I thought I’d take a picture
And then decided no
That would just be foolish
How would anybody know
And so I took a hike instead
Out where the buffalo roam
A lovely maiden called for me
But of course I wasn’t home
I went out to a prairie dance
Got drunk on railroad gin
As I snored a brakeman’s dream
They say my ship came in
I wasn’t there so that’s all fair
They say you snooze you loose
The next blue moon will be here soon
And I’ll lay off the booze
