Chuck Willis Lyrics
Yeah, C.C. Rider
Girl, see what you have done
Yes, yes, yes, C.C. Rider
See what you have done
Girl, you made me love you
Now your man has come
Well, I'm going away, baby
And I won't be back 'til fall
Yes, darling, going away, baby
Won't be back until fall
If I find me a good girl
I won't be back at all
C.C. Rider
C.C. Rider
Yeah, baby
C.C. Rider
C.C. Rider
C.C. Rider
C.C. Rider
Well, C.C. Rider
Girl, the moon is shining bright
Lord, Lord, Lord, C.C. Rider
The moon is shining bright
If I could just walk with you
Everything will be all right
C.C. Rider, C. Rider
C.C. Rider, C. Rider
C.C. Rider, C. Rider

The original version and the best by far. No one could have improved on it. Love the opening with the vibes and sax. And what a voice! I could listen to this another million times and never get tired of it. Wow! After 50+ years this song and its purveyor still amaze.
