In The Evening By The Moonlight

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
