[00:00.00]Mississippi Moon - Jimmie Rodgers
[00:06.34]I've heard all about the tune
[00:09.67]That's called the alabama moon
[00:13.06]But the mississippi moon is just as bright
[00:19.19]And I can't forget the time
[00:22.52]When I asked you to be mine
[00:25.60]But the moon was shining on that happy night
[00:31.96]And you promised me then
[00:35.01]That you would wed me in june
[00:38.61]That's why I love the mississippi moon
[00:44.69]Oh the mississippi moon is smiling down tonight
[00:51.29]And love just seems to fill the air
[00:57.49]Thee wipplewills are plitting in it's mellow light
[01:03.81]And calling to be lovers there
[01:09.96]Let us stroll once again down to dear old lovers lane
[01:16.60]Where nature seems to softly croon
[01:22.58]Our hearts will be so light
[01:25.59]While we wander there tonight
[01:29.42]Underneath the mississippi moon
[01:50.83]Many years have come and gone
[01:53.86]Since I met you there alone
[01:57.06]But tonight I'm thinking just as much of you
[02:03.13]As I did when hand and hand
[02:06.35]We wandered in that magic land
[02:09.53]Where we gave our pledge to love each other true
[02:15.86]Come and go back with me
[02:18.98]To that spot in memory
[02:22.25]Just to see again that mississippi moon
[02:28.46]Oh that mississippi moon is smiling down tonight
[02:34.99]And love just seems to fill the air
[02:41.29]The wipplewills are plitting in it's mellow light
[02:47.47]And calling to be lovers there
[02:53.76]Let us stroll once again down to dear old lovers lane
[03:00.37]Where nature seems to softly croon
[03:06.32]Our hearts will be so light
[03:09.29]While we wander there tonight
[03:12.96]Underneath the mississippi moon
