Magnolias In The Moonlight
Judge Miller lived on down the road
An acre woodlot in between
Three daughters of the finest kind
You have ever seen
The youngest one sweet Annabelle
She occupied my dreams
But the judge's girl was just too good
For a country boy like me
Daydreamin' in the schoolyard
Tried to hold her in my gaze
Dare did I see my Annabelle
Smiling back my way?
We had to keep our secret
Hidden from the light of day
Til' night when white magnolias
Lead me where she lay
Magnolias in the moonlight
Guide my way with your pale light
To her window after midnight
I'll be gone before sunrise
We were only seventeen
When we made our getaway
Waiting on the full moon
That comes in early May
When the woods cover your footsteps
And magnolias will bloom
A beacon in the dark night
Outside of her bedroom
Magnolias in the moonlight
Guide my way with your pale light
To her window after midnight
We'll be gone before sunrise
We nearly made the county line
When the judge he made the call
Sheriff bring me back my Annabelle
Or don't come back at all
I never saw that girl again
After that fateful day
Judge locked this poor country boy
And threw the key away
Now I think about her everytime
It comes blowing on the breeze
The scent of sweet magolias
Always brings me to my knees
Magnolias in the moonlight
Guide my way with your pale light
To her window after midnight
We'll be gone before sunrise
An acre woodlot in between
Three daughters of the finest kind
You have ever seen
The youngest one sweet Annabelle
She occupied my dreams
But the judge's girl was just too good
For a country boy like me
Daydreamin' in the schoolyard
Tried to hold her in my gaze
Dare did I see my Annabelle
Smiling back my way?
We had to keep our secret
Hidden from the light of day
Til' night when white magnolias
Lead me where she lay
Magnolias in the moonlight
Guide my way with your pale light
To her window after midnight
I'll be gone before sunrise
We were only seventeen
When we made our getaway
Waiting on the full moon
That comes in early May
When the woods cover your footsteps
And magnolias will bloom
A beacon in the dark night
Outside of her bedroom
Magnolias in the moonlight
Guide my way with your pale light
To her window after midnight
We'll be gone before sunrise
We nearly made the county line
When the judge he made the call
Sheriff bring me back my Annabelle
Or don't come back at all
I never saw that girl again
After that fateful day
Judge locked this poor country boy
And threw the key away
Now I think about her everytime
It comes blowing on the breeze
The scent of sweet magolias
Always brings me to my knees
Magnolias in the moonlight
Guide my way with your pale light
To her window after midnight
We'll be gone before sunrise
