Traditional In the evening by the moonlight When my mother had finished working We used to sit around the fire place Till 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 hung upon the wall While the silvery moon was shining clear and bright How the 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 could hear them by the moonlight You could hear my folks all
