[Verse 1]
Come, won't you walk with me, Griselda
Wearin' your dress that moonlight shines through?
I am a sad and lonely boy
Since your mother said I couldn't see you

[Chorus]
Slippin' through the woods in the dark of the night
Callin' to the moon out yonder
Old Lady Moon, won't you shine your silver light
And lead me to my Griselda?

[Verse 2]
Do you recall last night, Griselda
Learnin' the lessons nature taught us?
Watchin' the fish jump in the lake
It was lovely 'til your mother caught us

[Chorus]
Slippin' through the woods in the dark of the night
Callin' to the moon out yonder
Old Lady Moon, won't you shine your silver light
And lead me to my Griselda?

[Verse 3]
Moonflower vine upon your window
Gives me a foothold for my climbin'
I got a rowboat on the lake
Moon is out and all the stars are shinin'
[Chorus]
Slippin' through the woods in the dark of the night
Callin' to the moon out yonder
Old Lady Moon, won't you shine your silver light
And lead me to my Griselda?

[Verse 4]
I got a jug of wine, Griselda
Why should you waste your time in sorrow?
Hold out your hand and have no fear
If we're caught, I'll marry you tomorrow

[Chorus]
Slippin' through the woods in the dark of the night
Callin' to the moon out yonder
Old Lady Moon, won't you shine your silver light
And lead me to my Griselda?
