Traditional |
|
In the evening by the moonlight |
|
When my mother had finished working |
|
We used to sit around the fire place |
|
Till the cornbread it was done |
|
And then we all would eat our supper |
|
After that we'd clean the kitchen |
|
It's the only time they ever gave us to spare |
|
To have a little fun |
|
Then my daddy used to take his fiddle down |
|
That hung upon the wall |
|
While the silvery moon was shining clear and bright |
|
How the folks would enjoy it |
|
They would sit all night and listen |
|
As we used to sing in the evening by the moonlight |
|
In the evening by the moonlight |
|
You could hear banjos ringing |
|
You could hear them by the moonlight |
|
You could hear my folks all singing |
|
How my mother she would enjoy it |
|
She would sit all night and listen |
|
As we sang in the evening by the moolight oh yeah |
|
In the evening by the moonlight |
|
You could hear folks all singing |
|
In the evening by the moonlight |
|
You could hear my folks all singing |
|
How my mother she would enjoy it |
|
She would sit all night and listen |
|
As we sang in the evening by the moolight oh yeah |
|
In the evening by the moonlight |
|
You could hear banjos ringing |
|
In the evening by the moonlight |
|
You could hear my folks all singing |
|
How my mother she would enjoy it |
|
She would sit all night and listen |
|
As we sang in the evening by the moolight oh yeah |
