Bad Moon Risin'
(John C. Fogerty, 1945)
Play!


We've thematically paired the preceding 19th century patriotic song with something written by a noted 20th century rebel -- John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival.


I see a bad moon rising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see a bad time today.

Chorus
 Don't go 'round tonight,
 It's bound to take your life,
 There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes a'blowin'.
I know the end is comin' soon.
I fear rivers overflowin'.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Hope you have 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.
