Jimmie Rodgers - Mississippi Moon lyrics

I've heard all about the tune that's called the alabama moon But the mississippi moon is just as bright And I can't forget the time When I asked you to be mine But the moon was shining on that happy night And you promised me then you would wed me in june That's why I love the mississippi moon Oh the mississippi moon is smiling down tonight And love just seems to fill the air Thee wipplewills are plitting in it's mellow light And calling to be lovers there Let us stroll once again down to dear ol lovers lane Where nature seems to softly croon All the hearts will be so light while we wander there tonight Underneath that mississippi moon [Yodel] Many years have come and gone since I met you there alone But tonight I'm thinking just as much of you As I did when hand and hand We wandered in that magic land Where we gave our pledge to love each other true Come and go back with me To that spot in memory Just to see again that mississippi moon Oh the mississippi moon is smiling down tonight And love just seems to fill the air The wipplewills are plitting in it's mellow light And calling to be lovers there Let us stroll once again down to dear ol lovers lane Where nature seems to softly croon All the hearts will be so light while we wander there tonight Underneath that mississippi moon
