Julie and little John Tyler lived
In the house next door
We would be the great triangle
And to this we swore
Julie was my sweetheart
Little John was my cohort
And all the wild horses in the
World couldn't keep us apart
Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun
And promised to return before
The moon struck one
Julie came runnin' through the pasture
She was screamin' at the sky
She fell down to her knees
And the tears did fly
Little John was stung by a
Snake over by the lake
And it looked like he's really, really hurt
He was lyin' in the dirt
Oh, we went it as fast as we could run
But we lost little John as
The moon struck one i was vacant
Julie was a bird with a broken wing
We were always afraid
What tomorrow might bring
We'll drive down to Durango
Up and leave this place
And maybe forget the triangle with
A change of pace
The car broke down when we had just begun
And we walked back to the house
While the moon struck one
