"In The Evening By The Moonlight / Hear Dem Bells" lyrics - BING CROSBY

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 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 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 moonlight 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 oh yeah

Hear them bells, the story of our love
Hear them bells from up above
My darling, I need you, more each day
I'd be contented dear
If only you would say
I'll be yours forever, sweetheart
Our love is real, we'll never ever part
To be with you, love is my one desire
And if you'll leave me
You'll set my soul on fire

Hear them bells, the story of our love
Hear them bells, the story of our love

Hear them bells, the story's in their sound
Hear them bells, I'm heaven bound
To be with you, love,is my one desire
And if you'll leave me
You'll set my soul on fire

Hear them bells, the story of our love
Hear them bells, the story of our love
