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 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 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 moolight oh yeah
