In The Evening By The Moonlight - Live At Newport Jazz Festival; 2004 Remastered Version

In the evening by the moonlight
When my mother had finished working
We used to sit around the fire place
'Til the cornbread it was done

And then we all would eat our supper
After that we've clean the kitchen
It's the only time they ever gave us to spare
Hah hah, 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 moolight, 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 moolight, oh yeah

In the evening by the moonlight
You could hear banjo 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 moolight

Pa-ta-ta, yeah
Yeah, alright
