Chuck Willis Lyrics
Well now see, C. C. Rider,
Well now see, see what you have done.
Well now see, C. C. Rider,
Well now see, see what you have done.
Well you made me love you woman,
Now your man has come.
So I'm goin' away now, baby
And I won't be back till Fall,
I'm goin' away now baby
And I won't be back till Fall,
Just might find me a good girl
Might not be comin' back at all.
Well now see, C. C. Rider,
See now the moon is shining bright,
Well now see, C. C. Rider,
See now the moon is shining bright,
Just might find me that good girl
And everything would be alright.
