Chasing dogs in the moonlight
     This man committed a sin
     This man he never can win
     Mister you've got one more chance
     If you catch the hound when the sun shines
     This man committed a sin
     This man he never can win

     And it's all gone wrong
     Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
     And it's all been tried before
     Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

     Have you seen the one-eyed hound?
     Tell me where he's going
     This man committed a sin
     This man he never can win
     Every place that I have been
     No-one else has seen him
     This man committed a sin
     This man he never can win

     And it's all gone wrong
     Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
     And it's all been tried before
     Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

     Everybody's telling me exactly where to go
     This man committed a sin
     This man he never can win
     People call and people talk
     But they don't reach agreement
     This man committed a sin
     This man he never can win

     And it's all gone wrong
     Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
     And it's all been tried before
     Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
     Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
