The Evening Bells Are Ringing - The Carter Family

Moonlight shining over Dixie

To my heart will ever bring

Dreams of snowy fields of cotton

Everywhere the darkies sing

In the evening by the moonlight

In dear old Tennessee

And the evening bells were ringing

Across the hills so tenderly

Moonlight makes me sigh for you, dear

Makes me long to hold your hand

I know I’m missing hugs and kisses

Far away from Dixieland

My darling, come, come I am waiting

Come, let me hold you very near

We’ll build a bower among the flowers

Growing down in Dixieland
