Shoot the Moon
A fine day in our town the first day of July
The landlord came for his rent so we had to hide
So we'll have to shoot the moon and somewhere else reside
The rent arrears we cannot pay so we"ll leave tonight
What little furniture we own we'll sneak out through the door
The rent arrears we cannot pay because we are so poor
A fine day is you're wealthy but not so if your poor
And when you're sick and you can't work you don't get paid at all
A fine day in our town in eighteen thirty five
The landlord came for his rent to catch us by surprise
But we'd already left to somewhere else reside
The rent arrears we could not pay so we left last night
What little furniture we owned we'd sneaked out through the door
The rent arrears we cannot pay because we were so poor
A fine day is you're wealthy but not so if your poor
And when you're sick and you can't work you don't get paid at all
So we'll have to shoot the moon and somewhere else reside
The rent arrears we cannot pay so we'll leave tonight
What little furniture we own we'll sneak out through the door
The rent arrears we cannot pay because we are so poor
Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag
Tell all your friends about Ed's mixed bag
Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag
You've got to check out Ed's mixed bag
Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag
Yes you're listening to Ed's mixed bag
The landlord came for his rent so we had to hide
So we'll have to shoot the moon and somewhere else reside
The rent arrears we cannot pay so we"ll leave tonight
What little furniture we own we'll sneak out through the door
The rent arrears we cannot pay because we are so poor
A fine day is you're wealthy but not so if your poor
And when you're sick and you can't work you don't get paid at all
A fine day in our town in eighteen thirty five
The landlord came for his rent to catch us by surprise
But we'd already left to somewhere else reside
The rent arrears we could not pay so we left last night
What little furniture we owned we'd sneaked out through the door
The rent arrears we cannot pay because we were so poor
A fine day is you're wealthy but not so if your poor
And when you're sick and you can't work you don't get paid at all
So we'll have to shoot the moon and somewhere else reside
The rent arrears we cannot pay so we'll leave tonight
What little furniture we own we'll sneak out through the door
The rent arrears we cannot pay because we are so poor
Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag
Tell all your friends about Ed's mixed bag
Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag
You've got to check out Ed's mixed bag
Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag
Yes you're listening to Ed's mixed bag
