VERSE: Alabama moon, coming out so soon,/ Shining thro' the trees where ev'ning breezes gently croon;/ Cotton fields of white, swaying in the night,/ Dreaming of an Alabama moon./ Darkies softly hum, banjoes gently strum, Mm Mm/ Songs of Dixieland,/ songs you'll understand, Mm/ Alabama moon, coming out so soon,/ Shining thro' the trees where ev'ning breezes gently croon;/ Cotton fields of white, swaying in the night,/ Dreaming of an Alabama moon. CHORUS: Moonlight down in Alabama shining bright,/ Shadows softly come a-stealing in the night,/ With June birds flying 'cross the fields of cotton so white,/ Where the Alabama moon is shining bright,/ Alabama moon, coming out so soon,/ Shining thro' the trees where ev'ning breezes gently croon;/ Cotton fields of white, swaying in the night,/ Dreaming of an Alabama moon. | |
