[Yodel]
I recall happy days of my childhood,
For that's when I first met you.

I recall those days when I wandered,
'Neath the twilight skies with you.


Those days are gone and I'm weary
When the western moonlight fell
Each night all alone I'm waiting,

Down by the old sliprail.

[Yodel]


When the sun sets down on the homeward trail
My thoughts are all of you.

How I love to see your smiling face
And your dear sweet eyes of blue.


How I long once more to go with you,
In that silver moonlight vale,
Where we kissed and then we parted,

Down by the old sliprail.

[Yodel]


Won't you come back to me in the valley,
Where I'm waiting sad and blue,

With a heart that is surely breaking,
And longing just for you.


Down the old bush track we'd wander,
Through that silver moonlight vale,
Where I gave my love to you old pal,

Down by the old sliprail.
[Yodel]
