In the evening, by the moonlight
You can hear those old folks singing
In the evening, by the moonlight
You can hear those banjos ringing
And the old folks at home
They just sit around and listen
To the music of the banjos in the moonlight

Moonlight Moonlight Jolly Fine Moonlight
Moonlight Moonlight Moonlight
Moonlight

There’s a goldmine in the sky far away
And we’ll find that you and I some sweet day
And we’ll sit up there and watch the world go by-eye-eye
When we find that long lost goldmine in the sky

Faraway Faraway
We will find that long lost goldmine some sweet day
And we’ll sit up there and watch the world go by-eye-eye
When we find that long lost goldmine in the sky.
