Mister you've been caught at last chasing dogs in moonlight
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 come 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
