Lyrics

In the evening by the moonlight
 When my mother had finished working
 We used to sit around the fireplace
 'Til 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
 That hung upon the wall
 While the silvery moon was shining
 Clear and bright
 ♪
 How the old 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 can 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 moonlight
 Oh, 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 moonlight
 Yeah
 Yeah, all right
