Mister you've been caught at last

Chasing dogs in the moonlight

This man committed a sin

This man he never can win

Mister you've got one more chance

If you catch the hound when the sun shines

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 call 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

Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
