Doc Watson adds some different lyrics to this old tune...

THERE'S A NEW MOON OVER MY SHOULDER
Recorded by: Doc Watson

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
I remember now that I'm older
What you told me the day we had to part

Bridge:
You promised with the new moon
You'd be comin' back to me
But many moons have passed since then
And I'm waitin' patiently
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
How I wish now that I had been bolder
Then perhaps we wouldn't be so far apart

Bridge:
You promised that you'd write me
But so far there's not a line
Still I wait and make believe
That someday you'll be mine
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

Bridge:
My darlin' I've been prayin' for
Your safe return to me
And that we'll soon be sweethearts
Just the way we used to be
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
