Well now C, C C Rider, well now see, see what you have done
Well now C, C C Rider, well now see, see what you have done
Well you made me love you woman, now your man is gone

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 C, C C Rider, see now the moon is shining bright,
Well now C, C C Rider, see now the moon is shining bright,
Just might find me that good girl and everything would be alright
