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
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

listen As we sang in the evening by the
moolight In the evening by the
moonlight You could hear banjos
ringing In the evening by the

singing How my mother she would enjoy
