Title: Howlin' at the Moon
Written by Hank Williams
====================================

I know there's never been a man
in the awful shape I'm in
I can't even spell my name
my head's in such a spin
Today I tried to eat a steak
with a big old table spoon
You got me chasing rabbits
walking on my hands
and howling at the moon

Well, sure I took one look at you
and it almost drove me mad
And then I even went and lost
what little sense I had
Now I can't tell the day from night
I'm crazy as a loon
You got me chasing rabbits
pulling out my hair
and howling at the moon

Some friends of mine asked me to go
out on a hunting spree
'cause there ain't hound dog in this state
that can hold a light to me
I eat three bones for dinner today
then tried to tree a coon
You got me chasing rabbits
scratching fleas
and howling at the moon

I rode my horse to town today
and a gas pump we did pass
I pulled him up and I hollered whoa,
and said fill him up with gas
The man picked up a monkey wrench
and wham, he changed my tune
You got me chasing rabbits
spitting out teeth
and howling at the moon

I never thought in this old world
a fool could fall so hard
But honey baby, when I fell
the whole world must have jarred
I think I'd quit my doggish ways
if you'd take me for your groom
You got me chasing rabbits
picking out rings
and howling at the moon
