I've heard all about the tune thats called the alabama moonBut the mississippi moon is just as brightAnd I can't forget the timewhen I asked you to be minebut the moon was shining on that happy nightAnd you promised me then you would wed me in junethats why I love the mississippi moonOh the mississippi moon is smiling down tonightAnd love just seems to fill the airThee wipplewills are plitting in its mellow lightand calling to be lovers there let us stroll once again down to dear ol lovers lane where nature seems to softly croonall the hearts will be so light while we wander there tonightUnderneath that mississippi moonYodelmany years have come and gone since I met you there alonebut tonight I'm thinking just as much of youAs I did when hand and handWe wandered in that magic landWhere we gave our pledge to love each other trueCome and go back with meTo that spot in memoryJust to see again that mississippi moonOh the mississippi moon is smiling down tonightAnd love just seems to fill the airThe wipplewills are plitting in its mellow lightand calling to be lovers there let us stroll once again down to dear ol lovers lane where nature seems to softly croonall the hearts will be so light while we wander there tonightUnderneath that mississippi moonYodel again
