Caught in the middle of a moonbeam
A flicker of light
I took a look and then it run away
Back on into the night, oh.
Stopped, stopped in the tickin^? of my heartbeat
A look in his eye
Had the hunger of a mountain lion
And the thunder in fire
And every time he appears it comes as a surprise
He thinks he^?s clever as foxfire
Dancin^? on a distant rise
Then when I catch that devil, ooh
There^?s gonna be a slow-down; There^?s gonna be a mighty slow-down.
Caught in the embers of my night fire
In the cracklin^? and glow
I get to feeling he^?s a-watching me
Somewhere there in the cold
And one of these days I^?m thinking I^?ll take him by surprise
He^?s not so clever as foxfire, dancing on the distant rise
And when I catch that devil, ooh.
