lyrics

Of course that just gives no idea of all the things that have happened to Zora Neale Hurston in that time No She’s had Guggenheim fellowships and she’s been elected to anthropological fellowships and what’s that other one? Ethnological. Ethnological fellowships Yes, and folklore. Yes and she’s going around the country collecting folklore and doing a beautiful job but all that will come out I think as we talk along

I was amused at so many of the stories in Dust Tracks on a Road. There was one thing you said about children that I loved.
Isn’t it true that when we’re little we just think the world revolves around us? Yes. Things are going to happen to other people, bad things, but they aren’t going to happen to us, no sir! And that thing you said about the moon following you, tell about that.

Well if you go outdoors tonight and the moon is up I forget just what state the moon is in right now but anyhow if the moon is shining you go out and you run, and it’ll follow you

And so it was arranged the moon would follow me,
whatever tell way I ran, the moon would follow me.
And I was shocked when I found out it followed other people
cause I thought I was just something very special.
Still I didn’t quite believe it, how it could go with them when I’m going my way.

Well if you go outdoors tonight and the moon is up, you go out and you run
And it will follow you….
So disillusioned when I found it followed other people
Making the same claim on the moon.
Still I didn’t quite believe it, how it could go with them when I’m going my way.

And still I didn’t see
How it could go with them and me
Whatever tell way I ran, going my way.

Ooo, I didn’t see
Going my way, going my way, my way….
