The Cow Jumped Over the Moon

A Crescent Moon. From Mt. Massive, Colorado, 2014

And left a HUGE vapor trail!

The old English nursery rhyme…

Hey diddle diddle,
The Cat and the fiddle,
The Cow jumped over the moon.
The little Dog laughed,
To see such sport,
And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.

Then there is Cat Stevens (aka Yusuf Islam)…

The lyrics:

Yes, I’m bein’ followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin’ and hoppin’ on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my power, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Ooh, I won’t have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Ooh, I won’t have to cry no more

Yes, I’m bein’ followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin’ and hoppin’ on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

And if I ever lose my legs
I won’t moan and I won’t beg
Oh, if I ever lose my legs
Ooh, I won’t have to walk no more

And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Ooh, I won’t have to talk

“Did it take long to find me?”
I asked the faithful light
“Oh, did it take long to find me
And are you gonna stay the night?”

I’m bein’ followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin’ und hoppin’ on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
