[Verse 1]
Moonlight shining over Dixie
To my heart will ever bring
Dreams of snowy fields of cotton
Everywhere the darkies sing

[Chorus]
In the evening by the moonlight
In dear old Tennessee
And the evening bells were ringing
Across the hills so tenderly

[Verse 2]
Moonlight makes me sigh for you, dear
Makes me long to hold your hand
I know I'm missing hugs and kisses
Far away from Dixieland

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
My darling, come, come I am waiting
Come, let me hold you very near
We'll build a bower among the flowers
Growing down in Dixieland
[Chorus]
