why you keep peeping in my window?
Questioning why the moon seems to be observing from outside the window.

Expressing curiosity about whether the moon knows something undisclosed.
Did you see my baby
Inquiring if the moon witnessed the speaker's baby walking on railroad tracks.

Seeking confirmation or information about the baby's whereabouts.
You can tell me if the girls
Asking the moon to reveal if the girls will return.

Requesting information on whether the girls will ever come back.
Is she hid out with another
Questioning if the baby is with someone else or attempting to return home.
or is she trying to get back home?
Asking if the baby is with another person or striving to reunite.
Is she wrapped up in some other's arms?
Wondering if the baby is in the arms of someone else.
Or is the girl somewhere all alone?
Contemplating whether the baby is alone in some distant place.
Can you see if she is missing me,
Inquiring if the moon can see if the baby misses the speaker.

Asking if the baby is enjoying herself or feeling lonely.
Has she forgotten all about,
Questioning whether the baby has forgotten about the speaker.
or is the girl still mine all mine?
Wondering if the baby still belongs to the speaker.
With your eye so big a shiney
Describing the moon's eye as shiny, asking if it can see everything.
You can see the whole damn land
Noting the moon's ability to observe the entire landscape.

Asking the moon to reveal if the girl is with another man.
If the girl's with another man?
Continuing to seek information about the girl's company.

Continuing to seek the moon's insights, considering it a friend.
Now ain't you a friend of mine.
Acknowledging the moon as a friend and seeking its assistance.
